Retardation inbound: $1000 Sega console confirmed

This is funny enough with me not even saying anything. 8-core processors are right around $400 right now. That's the cost of the high end Xbox 360 at launch. So, unless this new Sega console is just going to be a processor in a box, it's either going to be around $1000, or Sega is planning on taking at least a $500 loss on a console.

Let me hit my crack pipe and get back to you.
