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

Wow 67% of people have no idea what they are talking about. LMAO I can build a PC RIGHT NOW for $600 that matches the Scorpio specs!

In a year graphics cards (At the same price) will be 20-40% stronger than they are now, and therefore I could easily build a 6 TFLOP PC for $400.



Hey you guys do realize the $110 RX 460 is 20% stronger than the PS4's GPU... right? Sony could be selling the PS4S for $250 but they don't have to because XBOX no longer brings any competition to the console space.

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.

Sure. But, Sony is paying a whole lot less than we are.  

On the other hand, they do have to distribute and market the console, whereas we don't have to worry about those costs in a home built PC.
