Forums - Gaming - Anybody think 8 gb of GDDR5 is a mistake for PS4

I see. There is still a lot of possibility on what price Sony is getting for these parts, but I guess that goes either way and I'm not sure how these figures are determined. If they go with two SKU's, one at $400 and one at $500 they can reduce the loss on hardware while still keeping that $400 base price on the market. Honestly, it wasn't until the hardware reveal in full that I thought the PS4 would get a $400 model, it always seemed like it would be a $500 system. This is leaps and bounds a better situation than the PS3 for Sony, if only their company was fairing better right now at the same time.


Agreed. Those parts are based on Wholesale prices. Sony may get them slighlty cheaper but again, that's only the components. No r&d, shipping, all that crap I said before. Your prices are possible and reasonable. Anything under $400 is a pipe-dream.
