| And why exactly are APUs cheap? If anything they are more expensive that a regular CPU because of the built in GPU and memory controller. |

"it's not longer just a rumor"
then please tell me where Sony confirmed this price
they made a loss on every PS3 they sold, you know
it's likely they're going to do the same thing with the PS4 |

| Sony made a loss on every ps3 sold because of the huge development cost of the cell. It's highly unlikely they have spent 2 billion dollars again on an APU designed largely by AMD, so I expect they will be making a profit fairly quickly |

I'm talking about the cost of buying the processor from AMD
it'll be expensive, and they have to cover the costs, which will result in them *likely* making a loss |

| Well it certainly won't be anything like intel's prices. That and Sony should have learned their lesson from the ps3 and making a profit from the start, I'm expecting quite a high price. |
