Next-Generation PS4 and Xbox 720 set for $400 price range
"Given the fragile state of the console game market, we expect the E3 trade show in June will take on added significance, most likely providing the industry with the first public opportunity to examine next-generation hardware," Sebastian wrote in his notes.
"Our checks suggest that next-generation console hardware will be largely built from 'off the shelf' high-end PC components, along with hybrid physical/digital distribution models, enhanced voice controls and motion sensing (Kinect integration with every Xbox), and broad multi-media capabilities," he added.
"Moreover, a PC-based architecture (Intel chips in the case of Xbox) should have a number of advantages over custom-developed silicon: for one, the learning curve for software developers will be shorter than completely new technology.
"Second, the cost of production and retail price points should be lower than prior console launches."
"Third, it will be easier to build online services around PC chip architecture, including flexible business models (free-to-play, subscriptions) and multi-media (over the top) content offerings. For Microsoft, this design will also allow for more integration with Windows 8 and Windows Mobile devices."
Sebastian has said that the Xbox 720 is expected to release in November, while Sony has had some "early production issues" and the PS4 could be released after the Xbox 720.

Agility I am not buying it for $400 that is not worth it at all , all microsoft and sony is are money hoardeers
You do realize that when the PS3 came out, they were asking $599 for it.
Given the cost of Limited Edition Xbox 360s and the cost of the bundles, $400 for a brand new, next generation console is quit a fair price if you ask me.
I hardly consider them "money hoardeers" although, I am not sure what a hoardeer is anyways, but the cost of the items that the next gen consoles are coming out with is hardly not worth it.
The next gen consoles are going to be, well....the Xbox 360 on super steroids.

Pretty reasonable price I guess for a brand new console. I might think about getting one when they get out, hopefully I'll have a job by then lol
