Xbox One: “Microsoft loses the next generation unless they cut price,”
It follows Pachter’s disbelief at why Nintendo President Satoru Iwata still had a job.
Speaking with GI.biz, Pachter said, “The reason Sony beats Microsoft is solely the price. Microsoft loses the next generation unless they cut price. If Microsoft drops its price to $399, I expect the sales to be equal to the PS4.”
That’s a short-term fix however, but what about the long-term? Pachter commented on sales projections that state both PS4 and Xbox One will out-sell their predecessors, “I don’t know where they get those numbers. I don’t think you’re ever going to see 500 million consoles out there. The next generation of consoles is probably the last. We expect frequent model updates instead of new consoles. I think the PC is going to make a comeback, the PC will be the hub of all this stuff.”

Aue The prices are way high, but i dont see a price cut happening any time soon lol
Most likely won't happen until the next year. Black friday will probably be the soonest sale.

This is true it is pretty expensive for a console. Plus, the ps4 got a week jump on the xbox one.

KAQYop The price matters because parents like cheaper.
That is mainly true but then again a lot of gamrs are 16 + so they choose them selves but then again it is mostly about the parents :/
Pshhhh. Have you played Call of Duty?

Whilst the Xbox One is more expensive, it isn't really much of a difference to be honest. The Xbox gaming community, if they have stuck by Microsoft opposed to Sony, then I don't see why they would switch. Yes there will be a small percentage of people who switch from one console family to the other, but the majority will stay with the console family they have previously been with.

I dont think the price matters at all. The PS people will buy the PS and the Xbox people will buy the Xbox no matter what.

HonkHuman Why don't Microsoft just remove the damn kinect
I personally really like the kinect.
Apparently the Xbox One kinect really isn't that bad. I was not a big fan of the Xbox 360 Kinect at all though, for the sole reason that it didn't work very well
