There's a lot more slides that goes more in-depth. I think next gen AMD gpus might also be expensive and I am starting to think that DF's rumour about the consoles costing $600 might be a reality...

Yeah, I mean this monolithic die is huge and packing. Granted this is an APU verses the 72-80CU Big Navi, that's gonna be pricey as well. Makes me question whether Series S is going to be $300. Its probably going to be like $400 for Series S and $600 Series X.

Sony probably went to smarter route with smaller APU. Though the cooling on PS5 and SSD is going to add a bit to the BOM.

I can see the Series S being $300 mainly due to how many things they could cut. It's rumoured that they cut the GPU down to 4TF and the Vram down to 10GB which should already save on a ton of costs. It should mean a less costly cooler as well. Then the question is well, is it digital only? Then they don't need to bother with the bluray drive like Sony is with their digital edition. Then it's like, how about the base storage? Since MS is selling those memory cards, they can cut down the base storage to 500GB. Etc. I think if they are gonna go for the value route, they really need to go for the value route cause if the price isn't too far from Ps5 Digital and it's only 4TF, then it's a guaranteed flop.

But yea, I am starting to like Sony's position a bit more but the question is, how much is that gonna cost. If they price it $100 less than Series X, then heck yea, that's great route. If it's the same price... Maybe not so much.
