$400 is way too low. Asumming the Pro is $250 by 2020. 16gbs of ram would cost around $60 so $310. I could see Sony using a 1TB SSD which by 2020 might cost $100 but if they go with a regular 1tb hardrive that should be around $30 by then so $340. I expect a huge focus on CPU to reach that 60fp so the Ryzen 7 cost like $300 today so maybe $150 by 2020 which brings the price to $490 and then include a new cooling tech so it doesnt overheat and the other components of the console were probably looking at $530-$550.

Could I please ask why you added all thouse components to the asumed $250 the pro would cost by 2020? Are you saying that by then whaterer gpu chosen that will do 10-12tf will be $250 in 2020?

If not, you just added a bunch of components to a device that already has them. Then you would have to remove $250 from your asking price of $530-550 so it will be $280-300 without a gpu.

I did it like DF did it with the XB1X. For an example the added ran instead of of trying to find out how much 16gb of rqam would cost it added $30 per 4gbs of ram and the PS4 already has 8gbs so 16gbs added would be $30. Its not a perfect prediction but i still think $500+ will be how much it cost to make.
