I'm going to guestimate ~200W under continuous gaming loads with peaks up to ~275W.  The 350W brick might have just been the next option up.  I can't see Sony wasting R&D budget on the Power Supply and would instead source an ODM for that and looking at Laptop power bricks for rough sizes, my 240W Dell power supply is the largest I've seen so 350W might just be the next size that makes sense to design and build at scale to help save money by an ODM.  It also helps that it would have a larger safety margin when the power brick gets inevitably thrown behind the entertainment unit along with all the other cables and power bricks.

I made the statement taking into account Sony's decision to use an expensive TIM solution, a large heatsink and a PSU that big and how the performance and power consumption will translate to desktop cards, as the consoles are designed with performance metric first. 

Going liquid metal with that big of a heatsink and the power supply makes me think that Navi too is going to be a power hog. 

Maybe we'll see.
