These are consumer prices. Retailers get them cheaper and when a giant like Microsoft orders them in bulk, say in orders of a few million, the price probably goes down to <$150

Scorpio will not have an 8-core Ryzen.

In-case you aren't aware... Ryzen is 4.8 Billion transistors. That's almost as large as the original Playstation 4 chip that includes the CPU AND GPU and memory controllers, cache, fixed function/logic/specific-purpose blocks, everything. Microsoft will likely go with a more transistor-light CPU core and spend more of their transistor budget on the GPU.

Who is saying Scorpio will have an 8 core Ryzen? I'm only illustrating the point a $300 chip can be put in a system thats $400.

In case you aren't aware, economies of scale is a real thing.
