Yes, because buying graphics cards built to play games was retarded as well.

Yeah lets pay 3x a PC for mining with a PS4, great logic

Where did you get your 3X number? Lots of people dropped $300-$500 on a single GPU to mine with. I seriously doubt PS4 will cost $900-$1500, in fact, I expect it will be $300-$500.
The logic is a GPU can also game and therefore retains resale value. Guess what, the same logic applies to a PS4.
YOU expect i to be 300-500,
What is kind of wrong, I highly doubt that it, a new f*cking console, will cost the same as a 7000 series of ATI and being able to mine at least 90% of the speed.

On a more serious note, it will have an amd radeon graphics card inside so no doubt someone might hack it to mine an alt coin ?

It has 18 Compute Units. A Radeon HD 7850 has 16 Compute Units, a HD 7870 has 20.

So you probably get ~300 Mhash/s (or 0.0413 BTC / day) from a PS4.

it may very well be the first console announcement in history where the company failed to actually show the console itself.
