We havn't really heard that from a reliable source but the PS Eye is pretty cheap. The next-gen version shouldn't be much more expensive. Definitley won't come close to Kinect in terms of price. My guess is Sony won't try to overengineer this and try to push it as the next big thing. They'll have it there for the video chat and voice commands. Plus the Move Support for games like Just Dance 5/6/7/8/9/10. Again, I expect both consoles to be very very similar in price. You won't see one being $400 and the other being $500. Sony isn't stupid ,they have competition and they will price match.

How can you say the PS Eye is cheap? Its specs are better than the current Kinect, so you can't just assume its cheap. Its still going to cost at least $50 - $75 to produce. Also, if Sony weren't pushing it, why did they have a 20 minute segment of their PS4 meeting dedicated to showing the it?
Well, you claim Sony aren't stupid, but then why did they make an expensive console? If Sony wanted to be succesful, I would think Sony would try to make a cheaper console and hope the strength of Playstation brand and exclusives would be strong enough to sell many units of the console.

PS Eye is nowhere near as power as the Kinect. Nowhere. Next-gen versionf of these devices I expect the gap in specs to widen again in Kinects favort and as a result, a higher price. The current PS Eye costs nowhere near $50 to produce as the current MSRP is only $40 and websites like Amazon marking it down to $20. If I had to guess what this thing costs to produce, I'd say $15. Now let's look at Kinect. The current MSRP is $110. I expect producting costs to be less than half so about $50. Expect a similar difference in cost and production next-gen.

THEY DIDN'T. WE STILL DON'T KNOW THE PS4 PRICE. Like I said before expect PS4 and the next XBox to be about the same price.

Well, according to the specs, it is. Its actually quite advanced with 3 camera's and 4 mic's. You can ready the discussion on Neogaf of "PS Eye = Kinect":

I do agree that the Kinect 2.0 will be expensive, but we don't know much about it yet, so saying it will be much more expensive than the PS Eye is a bit sillly.

The PS4 Eye will be closer in costs to the PS3 Eye than the Kinect. So between $15 and $50.
All we know for sure is that IF bundled these cameras will only add to the costs of these systems. As a consumer I'd love for these cameras to be optional and for MS/Sony to offer a "bare-bone" SKU without any sort of motion control crap.
