From what you listed the only difference between the Xbox one and PS3 is that the Xbox One has TV and the PS3 doesn't. That doesn't seem like a ton more differences wouldn't you think?

Completely agree. I think it is a very fair price for the console.

Really the biggest factor. I'm not hating on either console, I might even switch to PS4. But to include LIVE tv (normally you'd have to pay a good amount for anyway) in a console that can play games in a snap, yeah $100 is a good amount in return.

Plus all the online you must pay to play your games. That all stacks up, say after 5 years. That's a huge investment. That's why I love my Ps3, sure it doesn't have as good online experience but it's not far behind especially since it's free.

I could never fall into the Xbox One bandwagon. Microsoft is full of greed, same with Apple.

In all fairness it is not just the price. The fat that there is some bad a*s games coming out on PS4 and the fact that Xbox1 is taking things PS3 had such as the paying in cash not MSP.

-Dream wrote A lot of people are switching to PS4 (priced at $399) because of Xbox One's price ($499). Some people think Xbox1 is way overpriced. I don't think so, because PS4 is pretty much only games. I'm not watching the livestream so correct me if I'm wrong. But, the PS4 really only plays games,bluray, internet and whatnot. Touchscreen controller. $399 is a good price for that.

Now, Xbox One. It has TV, internet, bluray, games, etc. It has a lot more than PS4 does. Especially live TV. Fast switching, kinect. A crazy controller. That should be a lot more than $499 if you asked me. So, I think for what Xbox1 is bringing, $499 is a great price. Mainly internet, live tv, and games.

Basically it comes down to PS4 mainly having games.
Xbox has tv, kinect, and games. So I don't see why everyone is hating on X1's price.

Your thoughts?

I don't blame you for being incorrect if you didn't watch the stream, but that's not accurate. Both plays games, both have blu-ray, both have internet, both have nearly identical social media apps, I believe Sony's controller would cost more to manufacture considering it has touch screen interface, and yes the Xbox One has kinect, but the PS4 also has it's own equally powerful camera coming with it as well. As for your TV part with the Xbox One, really all the One is doing is plugging your TV box that you already have and just playing it through the console, so no expense on it's part, and the few more features it does have for TV is software, not hardware.

The PS4 actually has more expensive hardware inside of it including it's video card, better ram etc. Not hating on the Xbox One at all, but the fact is that Microsoft simply chose to price theirs higher (not so sure it was a good idea) but they did and it's simply a business thing.

So, TECHNICALLY speaking (calm down fanboys) the PS4 has better hardware for the price ($100 cheaper) and features including you can trade, sell, lend, and importantly play offline without a restriction (unlike the Xbox One). That's simply how it is whether you like it or not. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean you shouldn't get the One, it all comes down to preference, if you're willing to pay the additional $100 and are willing to deal with additional restrictions and enjoy Xbox over Playstation than get whatever you're heart desires.

Thats why Playstation Plus now has Online Multiplayer as a feature right?

That sir, is not official. Sony hasn't confirmed it yet. But still PS+ will be the same as Ps3 including discounted games, some free stuff.

Paying online is nothing where I am, 1 year $70 easy, It's the only argument sony fanboys can bring to the table, "The xbox one cost more" "The online is paid" It's been the same throughout the 360 era, and they will carry on, Overall the Xbox One is brilliant, it's hardware is amazing for a console, and the games they shown were fantastic.
