But how much more damange will that cost them?  Delayed production, possibly a weaker console, low demand can be a loss sale.  What if the console's power gets knocked down below a teraflop which is what this rumour suggests?  The PS4 is going to be noticeably more powerful then.  Sure the eDram would be slower, but it wouldn't be causing these problems and the performance hit would be negligible.  Especially considering the performance hit the console might have now.

The PS4 specs are strong even if MS not droped the teraflops...

But I can't see MS decreasing the clock speed just to make the chip works... they will try to fix the issues and works with a low % of usable chips at the start.

Like I said the issues MS will face are low initial supply and loss money to fix/cover everything... of course that can mean less gamers buying the Xbone... a smaller userbase.

Which is potentially billions in lost money between manufacturing and loss of users.  Plus, what if the Xbox One starts selling poorly and starts loosing third party support like the Wii U?  All cause there was a potential for faster data transfer, potential which is gone now cause the console's power has to take a significant hit.  I honestly don't see how using eSram is a good idea now that any advantage it had is gone and causing huge manufacturing problems.
