If the Scorpio is too powerful for $399, what does that mean for PS5?

How is it too powerful for $399? An overclocked Jaguar, overclocked RX480 thats also in the PS4 Pro, launching a whole year later than it. The advanced cooling design they talk about has been in the original PS4 since 2013 when the Xbone had just a giant pc style cooler over the apu. It's why the PS4 was smaller and more powerful and had the psu in the system. Yet in 2017 it's revolutionary for the Scorpio.

This thing will be $399 or less.

Digital Foundry - "PS4 Pro launched at £349/$399. Scorpio has a larger processor (the most expensive single part of any console), 4GB more memory, a faster hard drive, a UHD Blu-ray drive and a state-of-the-art cooling solution. All of these add cumulatively to the bill of materials and if I had to guess - and I'll stress that this isn't based on anything I might have heard on my visit - Project Scorpio is going to cost in the region of $499."

No the cooling solution in the Scorpio is not the same as the PS4.

PS4 Pro launched a whole year earlier, things go down in price so it's not 1:1 to compare PS4 Pros 2016 BOM with Scorpios BOM using the same materials but overclocked a year later, even the Xbone S at $299 last year had a UHD drive in it so why should a Scorpio at $399 not have it.

The cooling is the same design as the original PS4 back in 2013, they just copy what Sony did.

Hell they even copied the motherboard layout

Some people just forget what kind of an engineering marvel PS4 was
