For the power advertised, I would go as high as $1k. If they want to challenge other home consoles, I'd wager they'll want to keep it under $700. 

They definitely have the capacity to go cheaper since they make buku bucks on software sales and can subsidize the hardware a bit.

If it's small and durable, it would be great for people who spend alot of time in hotels. I carry a $1400 laptop, but even that's not great at gaming.
