The only thing that makes sense is find out how much does it cost to build a 6Tf PC in 2016.

Then we simply apply devaluation calculations compared to that a 6Tf PC costed back in 2015.

And then we can estimate a projection for 2017 and guess how much of that cost is going to be absorbed by Microsoft.

 

Edit: I finally understood the second comment on this post. Hitting 6Tf is not the important part, you can do this with low budget graphic cards.

What really matters is the native 4k and VR support that Microsoft is almost obligated to implement at this point, and this requires either a lot of money or a lot of work. Is Microsoft as good as Sony when it comes to optimization? Because I sitll don't understand how the PS4 Pro can do both 4k and VR in a $400 budged.

MS already have VR built into Windows 10 so support is already there.  Since MS does have VR built within the OS, it means any hardware player who wants to put their device on the next Xbox can and it will open the market for cheaper wider solutions.
