I doubt that 8GB of GDDR5 is in any way comparable to the PS3's CELL + BluRay costs.

i'm just thinking is the 4gb of ram worth it, will many games actually use it, they could have went with a much better gpu instead of the 4gb but as some one said i guess it was too late, here is the price estamation for ps4 parts from beyond3d.
PU (CPU/GPU) - 85-90 8GB GDDR5 - 110-140 OS Chip (supposedly ARM based) - 12-18 Video encode/decode chip - 8-12 Blu-ray drive - 18-25 Hard drive - 38-50 I/O - 9-12 Wireless chip + antenna - 4 HDMI+HDCP - 11-15 Other - 25-35
Total - 320-401

The PSV components cost $160, yet it broke even at $250. So including all the other associated costs the PS4 should cost Sony about $500 each.

They're buying in mass bulk. Wouldn't $450-475 be a bit more realistic? Even still, on top of shipping, advertising etc, that could indicate another $599 price.
