I'm not a super-tech guy, so I'm a bit confused. If Sony is going with a custom Polaris 10 as rumored and the card is so cheap, why would they order one that is so much weaker than the rumored custom gpu in the Xbox Scorpio? Are they just that worried (or inhibited) by the rest of the architecture to keep the power low in order to maintain compatibility between ps4 and ps neo? Why not just use the more powerful gpu if it's so cheap? 

 

Sorry, I realize my question is more ps-focused than pc-focused.
