Zero999 on 10 May 2013

Since theres nothing coming in addition to the unit itself that we know of (apart from camera and control) i dont see a major cost issue at all. |
i used the wii u example. 299 at a loss would mean about 250 cost sold at 230 to retailers, who in turn retail for 299. ps4 seens considerably more expensive than wii u in many parts so i expect a number close to 400 in cost. even if they sold it to retailers for 300-320 (about 80-100 loss) the system would still retail for about 400. and considering sony can't/won't take that big of a loss, $450+ is more plausible.
