What about neither? Is it not possible that Microsoft is making profit off the slim while Sony fit all they could in the box for $400? A >2x power increase is nothing to sneeze at.

Brah... The 1:1 comparison is Xbone Slim to PS4 Slim, who were cost equivalent in non-slim form, and are being sold for same price in Slim form.
Only difference being the UHD Blu Ray drive in Xbone Slim (HDR capability also being present in PS4 Slim and OG).
I'm not sneezing at PS4 NEO power increase, I'm trying to objectively address cost issue of UHD Blu Ray rather than using fantasy numbers.
Using the 1:1 comparison of Slim models is exactly to remove extraneous factors which change costs.
But the actual price difference of UHD Blu Ray drive would be the same whether installed in Slim or PS4 Neo, obviously.
