Xbox One price 'less exorbitant after inflation calculation'
Games site Ars Technica has listed most of the major games consoles released since the Atari 2600, and adjusted each system's RRP for inflation to bring all in line with 2013.
The results suggest that the Xbox One, in real terms, is $200 cheaper than the PS3, more than $100 cheaper than the Sega Saturn, and less than half the price of the 3DO and NeoGeo.
Ars Technica's chart also suggests that games consoles are generally launching at a cheaper price in real terms. The Panasonic 3DO remains the most expensive, at a 2013 price of £1127, though the NeoGeo is at a close second at £1111.
These figures only represent US launch prices, however. Microsoft is launching the Xbox One in the UK at £429 for the unit, which calculates to $652.
Sony's PlayStation 4 price holds a key advantage, selling at $399 in the US and £349 in the UK.
Microsoft has confirmed an Xbox One release date of November 2013. It will go head-to-head with the PS4 release which is currently officially 'holiday 2013'.

RaheemSterling_31 I really hope they lower the price for Xbox one.

This is very true. The PS3 was $599.99 on release and was terrible compared to both the next gen consoles. Either way you look at it we are paying a lot less for such a powerful machine. If i was to pick one for a better experience 5-10 years from now id go PS4 but as of now no game developers are going to push the consoles to the limits because it would ruin the ability to make better games each year.

Sorcery The US price isn't even that bad, so stop complaining about it, the UK price is where the real issue lies.

Nobody cares.
The UK price is because it includes VAT and I believe some other taxes. From my understanding the US price doesn't include taxes because every state has different tax rates.
