Funny thing is that the analysts hate it

WUT?!
I don't think 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM will compare to bleeding-edge BluRay laser technology and a Cell Processor. Holy bajeebus, even at a loss, Sony simply gambled on technology that was entirely too expensive, and too unique to lower their console to a competitive price for a very long period.
Compared to GDDR5 memory, which is a current consumer-available technology, that comparison by these analysts is completely off-base. I would be surprised if the PS4 is launched at anything *over* $499 USD. Personally, I think Sony needs to put it out as a loss leader and price it competitively in the $299-399 range. I'm guessing they'll be banking on their digital content network to help rebound the lowered price of the console, and I am fully expecting them to start charging a subscription fee for standard PSN.
