What if PS4 was $299, but took a $200 loss?

then Sony will not have learned a thing.

well that's not precisely true.  They would have learned not to price the thing at $600.  However if they made a console that was $500 to manufacture they would probably charge $450 or $400 for it.

 i was leaving that for someone else to mention.

Well, in reply to your last comment: 

People, not just the future bet-loser marcus, keep forgetting that this would be half the PS3's price at launch and won't have any crazy r&d costs associated with it. That said... I don't think it will work anyway (see post above).
