Really? if this becomes a trend in consoles I would do the opposite, it breaks one of the key benefits of the console model around fixed hardware raising dev costs and consumer costs. I currently game on both consoles and PC's but if this happens across the board I think it would be the death blow to consoles and better to just ditch consoles all together.

I'm the opposite I would love a $1200 console, but since I'm realistic and know that most people won't buy a console that expensive, I would like 2 skus sharing the same architecture so development for both is easy, one at $400 and the other at $1200, 3 times as fast/powerful with both an HDD and an SSD, also both should be available at launch.

I just don't really enjoy playing on PC, there's just too many annoyances, plus the fact I already spend too much time on my PC for work. Consoles are just more practical for gaming IMO.

What I don't like about this rumour is the 2X part, that's too little to even bother doing this.

 Poor man's Console and a Rich man's? Again a console like thus would never get off the ground, there's already an environment like that it's the PC market. 

 A $300-$400 , one spec for all, level playing field, computer, otherwise known as a "console", that people can buy on a 5-6-7 year cycle and know that money gets them as cheap as possible to a leading edge in gaming for a few years with out spending anymore to upgrade, is the lifeblood of the console industry.

 I think a lot people would reject a two tiered console enviroment, and just get into PC gaming then. 

I mean you guys are talking about dismantling the only thing that distinguishes a console from a pc.
