I doubt it is as much as $50 for it... and everything i say would be based on the possibility it isnt. Even though it very well could be, especially since I believe it probably cost Sony and MS under $220 to make their consoles (outside the BR drives)
I think Sony is just milking it. But not for why you seem to think they are. I think the PS4 doesn't cost them anymore than $230 to make. But I also feel the PS4pro possibly costs them a little above $399 to make. Maybe around $420.
I believe the sales of the PS4 are now going to offset the sales of the PS4pro and throwing in a more expensive drive in there would have just made all that more difficult to work out.
I also believe that after careful examination, they decided on what kinda things to add or not add to their platform. And 4k BR drives didn't make the cut.
But here is the million dollar question....
If the PS4pro was $499 and we all find out that it could have cost $399 if they used a normal BR drive.... what do you think everyone would be saying right now?
