They may sell it at $399 but it'll certainly be sold at a loss if they do. I think $499 is more likely.

Let's not forget they launched the original XBO at $500, sure it came with Kinect but that price for a 1.31 Tflop machine? An overly large machine with an external power brick? 

There's a lot more that goes into the pricing of a console than it's "flops" so it could be $399 but I think it's more likely to be higher.

Well the PS4 Pro is selling for $399, so what makes the Scorpio much more expensive?

Assumeing their useing the same technology to manufacture the chips with.... the size of the chip? the higher power requirement = bigger cooler, power unit?

Which leads to needing a bigger box, which also drives up price.

Unless Microsoft have something better than 16nm fab tech, that the PS4 is useing, I dont see why them useing a bigger chip doesnt mean price will be higher.

"1 year = cheaper" doesnt work, unless you have fab advances that make it so.
