This is wrong and has been shown to be wrong several times.
The Polaris 10 is a 32 CU part that is a mid-budget GPU for $299.99 retail this year. It clocks in at 5.5 TFLOP. This is actually cheaper than the 7870 GPU that the PS4 is based on was in 2012 when it released a year ahead of the PS4/XB1.
Give it a minor bump to 36 CUs and you get 6 TFLOPS.
There's no reason for a console with a Polaris 10 GPU to cost $800 or even close. Try half that.
6 TFLOPS is nothing amazing. PS4 @ 1.8 TFLOPS is old as shit now, people need to realize that, by fall 2017 that'll be 4 four years old.

If you think it will be affordable, more power to you. But sitting at $300 on just the GPU when that's the cost of a PS4... Microsoft must be aiming for premium users. Which would be weird, because those already exist.
They're called PC gamers.

Azuren. MS and sony do not pay the same prices we do. I think you are not taking that into consideration.
