Well 200$ loss would mean 1 billion loss on 5m consoles sold... would you want to lose 1 billion?
And they'd only get profitable MUCH later than at 5m - more like 20-30m maybe? So make that 5 billion loss. Straight suicide. So, no.
Looking at last generation and Wii U I think this gen it's really tough to launch a console. People won't pay a lot, so no manufacturer can go for super high tech. Lesson learned from 599,- PS3. Innovative peripheral raises the cost, so it's either fancy or high-tech. Lesson learned from Wii U. I expect this to result in conservative, moderate upgrades.
