Xbox One much more expensive to make than PS4 even without KInect-according to teardown!

32MB eSRAM make the APU for Xbone be ~40% bigger... so complex to produce, less units per wafer and yields issues.... that's make the Xbone's APU way expensive compared to PS4's APU.

There is no magic that makes that APU cheaper.

In the other note the PS4 have the GDDR5 more expensive but it is less than the difference between the APUs.
