Capitalism.

You make a product that everybody is going to want to buy, so you can charge whatever the hell they want for it. You should be grateful that it will be that cheap.

CPU will use three 3.0GHz PowerPC cores, each with 32KB L1 cache, 32KB instruction cache, and the three share 1MB of L2 cache. Later alpha decks only featured two cores
The graphics will be handled by a “next-gen” 500MHz ATI post-X800 adapter
There will be 256MB RAM—no word on what type; memory cards will range from 64MB to 1GB
There will be a USB 2.0 camera for 1.2-megapixel shots and VGA-quality video
5.1-channel audio is handled in software—X3DAudio to be exact (no word on in/outs)

Keep in mind that Microsoft lost money on every Xbox that was sold, the money is made up for in games (and most likely accessories as well).
