Xbox One to cost $399, PS4 for $349 says Pachter
GI.biz reports that Pachter made his predictions in a pre-E3 address to investors today, during which the analyst placed the PS4′s build cost per console at $275, and added that the Xbox One will cost $325 per unit.
Pachter added that Microsoft may still consider a subscription-based Xbox One model at cheaper cost, which backs up rumours of a $299 version.
In the address, Pachter added, “We believe the ability to watch live TV from a cable, telco, or satellite set-top box through Xbox One could entice an MSO to drive subscriptions through a subsidised box in exchange for a multi-year contract. The ‘always connected’ requirement for the Xbox One likely means that a broadband connection will be required, suggesting to us that ISPs may have an incentive to offer a subsidy as well.
“In addition, Microsoft could conceivably subsidise the Xbox One through prepaid Xbox Live Gold subscriptions (as it has done on a limited basis in the past) or premium Skype functionality as well. Similarly, Sony could subsidise the PS4 through prepaid PlayStation Network subscriptions, but unlike Microsoft, it does not have a history of doing so.”
What do you make of the prices above? Do they make sense or are they too expensive? Let us know below.

Yeah, now we know that the Xbox One will cost $500.
It was a good place to start though I will say that, I personally thought both consoles were going to be around $600 ._.
Oh, I though it was going to be around $700-100, well that's what my local game shop told me. LIARS.

Haha, I will trust me. I'm going to get 50% of that ps4 ;) JK.
