Don't expect PS4/720 to come down in price

Instead of three lifetime shrinks, I would expect one, and for it to be much later in the lifecycle than it came for PS3 or 360. If the initial prices of PS4/720 are higher than $400 the resulting negative effect on sales will be compounded. Expect the initial price to remain for two years from launch, and it to not come down to $200 for five years. 

Good information... now question would be, it is better for the companies to charge higher during launch or lower? if they go higher they can create an artificial price drop faster but that will go very bad with the stock holders, if they go lower they may create a bigger install base but at a great cost that would be hard to overcome because of the reasons mentioned. Higher or Lower?

My opinion? Delay launch another year or more. The tech they want is not viable until then.

I'm not going to respond to you further, you are either wrong (on ARM having any input in the process nodes a PS4/720 might use) or I've already addressed it (on Intel already having 22nm).
