I was corrected on this recently. PS4 and Xbox dev kits are around $5000

Whoever corrected you was very wrong. The PS4 dev kit was $2500 and the Xbox One dev kit was actualy just a normal Xbox One, so $500.

 

Edit: But as I said, even if they were more expensive (which they aren't) the risk of spending the money on a dev kit for an upcoming major console is much lower than one for something like AR.

It was a developer. He said the internet is posting wrong numbers.
