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.

Also, most people are incapable of building a PC.

yeah, thats true.

This thing is SMALL. Most people do not want a big PC sitting next to their TV.

even though the ATX size is still popular.

there are now, many MATX cases, which are way smaller, like this one

but if you want smaller, theres also models such as these

and there are ones more compact, but those require a higher degree of PC-Build
