I seriously doubt it's that much.

I'm slightly disappointed Sony isn't courageous enough to sell at a greater loss in order to boost the hardware a little further in the PS4.
All things considered, this is probably a wise strategy, as PC, tablet and smart-phone gaming may eat into console sales this generation. Even so, with numerous developers struggling to provide a good gaming experience at 1080p on either console, it doesn't exactly excite me.

I doubt it cost that much. I'm pretty sure Sony got discounts from vendors for buying all those parts in bulk.

Looks pretty darn close I bet like CPC stated they are withing that 5% accuracy area...
I*m very disappointed in the new Consoles...im a PC gamer but this new gen console is lacking badly for being considerd the new next gen console....Im sorry but these new consoles are underpowered joke to the gaming world....I cant see people sticking to console much after this generations except kids....
The new consoels can barely run 1080p native...game devs are ready to move on...new tech is coming out PC hardware is becoming more poweeful it makes the consoles look like hand held cheap games....
AAnyways the hardware is the new consoles is a joke......I was going to get my little cousin one for Christmas....scratch that im getting him a descent PC so he game at 1080p like a man lol

Yes i know that. That was sony mistake. But as PhazeDelta1 said, they buy a lot of parts at once, so they get difference price for those parts. They don't pay retail price.

This generation we are going to see a much higher RMA rate. You turn a console basically into a PC but with limited upgradability, you are going to have RMA's and lots of them! I said this a long time ago but I honestly think this will be the last Playstation or Xbox we will see. Just like any movie part 4's are never a success-even Star Wars had to wait 20 years. So, enjoy the console while you can boy and girls...

Most funny thing is, people are actually trying to justify the + 100$ price of the Xbox One, saying the Kinect is in that price, which is ridiculous, cause Kinect is no more than 59$.
So you end up with an inferior console, you even pay 40 bucks more, cause they force you to have that Kinect crap.
Shi*, i can't believe people are even considering the Xbox One, especially after that presentation few months ago.
Brainwashed fanboys, that's it (yeah, yeah, exclusives blah blah blah).
I'm a PC guy, but i decided to buy a console, just for the fun of laying on the couch with friends and play Fifa, NBA or else that is better with a controller.
How did i decide which console to pick?
Well, 100$ less, better hardware = PS4. What else do i need to decide?
I guess i'm a Sony fanboy now.... i might as well be a Microsoft fanboy, if they didn't screw up big time.

Out of curiosity, in terms on performance, the GPU in the PS4 is equal to what for PC? Would it be a fair statement saying the PS4 is equal to a GTX 660?
