Total estimated system cost (no shipping and packaging) - $450-490

I see. There is still a lot of possibility on what price Sony is getting for these parts, but I guess that goes either way and I'm not sure how these figures are determined. If they go with two SKU's, one at $400 and one at $500 they can reduce the loss on hardware while still keeping that $400 base price on the market. Honestly, it wasn't until the hardware reveal in full that I thought the PS4 would get a $400 model, it always seemed like it would be a $500 system. This is leaps and bounds a better situation than the PS3 for Sony, if only their company was fairing better right now at the same time.
