Sony is making a significant leap forward with the underlying technology in the PlayStation 4, but according to Sony Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida, it isn't limiting the company's ability to be nimble in terms of the console's cost.

When asked if the company was prepared to compete with other consoles and hit a more favorable price, Yoshida said that Sony's decisions to use custom AMD hardware instead of its own proprietary Cell architecture has allowed it to save on R&
and production costs."The architecture choice we have made this time around has allowed us not to invest to create dedicated factories and conducting factories and things like that — so that helps in order for us to provide an affordable price to consumers."
While Sony has yet to offer a sense of what the system will cost, it seems as though the company understands that with the advent of gaming-capable sub-$200 smartphones and tablets, consumers are more cost-conscious than ever.

I will give them 1 goat 2 chickens and a sack of potatoes.
I think it is smart for Sony not to be to crazy with what goes into the system. I feel that they realized their mistake with the PS3 and may actually under-price this system. Not sure though.
I'm thinking for the high end system (Most memory 1-2 TB?, Extra USB ports and 2 remotes) $500 USD (550 after tax) sounds about right.
