I highly doubt the processor costed that much. I'm thinking $180 otherwise it's specs shouldn't match the hd 7850 and I doubt the hd 7850 costs $70. 

don't forget though the processor includes 8 jaguar cores, so its not just a hd7850. 

AMD has slim profits on the console APU's, that's a great thing for gamers however.
Jaguar though would probably only be accounting for a tiny portion of the APU, the GPU I wouldn't be surprised if it was using more than 50% of the die space, then you have other logic, memory controllers, caches, redundancy and other bits' that takes a chunk of that die.

Then again a single chip solution generally is always a cheaper and more elegant solution anyway, unless of course yields are down (Which it shouldn't be on a mature 28nm).
AMD is pretty much counting on volume over profit margins to help it's bottom line.

I thought AMD was counting on the developers to optimize for the GCN architecture in order to beat nvidia in the PC space.
