Sony: "Unlike PS3, we are not planning a major loss with the launch of PS4"

Remove the £200 cost of the bluray drive, the £150 of the cell and you're left with a system which will probably cost 499-549.

The key word they used was "major loss".... Nothing about selling for profit.

So I still expect the system to be priced under $499(with a $50 loss) and only one SKU.

You're forgetting that the PS4 is a one chip design with cpu and gpu integrated, witch will make it even cheaper to produce. Also the first model of the PS3 hade PS2 chips for backwards compatibility wich made it even more expensive. The PS4 will cost $400 to $450 to produce from my expectations.
