Why the Scorpio will sell for no more than $399 (if its 6tflops).

Amazon says it's $140. How you can get a controller, motherboard, RAM, casing, etc, etc. for $160 more is beyond me. Sorry to break your bubble but you cannot but a more powerful gaming PC than the PS4S for $300. Or a more powerful gaming PC that the PS4P for $400.

Then learn how to google.

$110 - 460

$70 - CPU (Athlon x4)

$40 - 8GBRAM 

$45 - mobo

$30 - HDD

$30 - PSU

$30 - Case

 

So that's $355 for a PC 20% stronger than the $300 PS4.  Keep in mind that Sony doesn't need to pay for Windows.  They are making A LOT of money right now.

If you really want a laugh consider this would be almost twice as strong as the $300 X1S...

OS + a controller and all that in a relatively compact box. That takes lot of money to manufacture than you think

To me lot of people expecting a 400$ console are going to disappointed. It is significantly more powerful than Xbone S which is 300$ and I do not think this is dropping to 200$. May be on sale for 250$ for limited time at best
