LOL...The price difference is 40 dollars if you play games online. 439.99 plus a year of xbox live comes to the 499.99 price point for the xbox one. Plus you get Kinnect included for those who choose to use it, you get snap mode, Tv integration and interactivity...All for $40 dollars more than the ps4's 399.99 plus 5 dollars a month to play online games...which makes it 459.99 for a year.
39.99 is less than a tank of gas, less than a pair of new shoes, less than a desi...
Ryse, Forza 5, TitanFall, Quantum Break,and Dead Rising are must have games for me personally. No way would I miss out on those next gen games. Sony did surprise me with the price. But in reality the xbox one is 439...with 60 dollar one year of xbox live included making it 499. Ps4 is 399 with 5 dollars a month to play online fee. Making it actually 459. So in all actuality we are talking about a 40 dollar difference in launch price and the size of the ps4 399 launch consoles hard drive hasn&...

Obviously you don't have an xbox. It's not paying for internet. It's paying for xbox live and all the experiences that come with it. If you have a problem paying what equates to $5 a month or 1.25 a week for a service that far suppresses the sony online experience. You probably can't afford to jump into the next generation of gaming and games. Seriously, who complains about 5 dollars a month but calls them self a gamer? Your not paying for online....
It comes with a year of Xbox live valued at $60 dollars. Which brings the console price to $440. Only $40 dollars more than most people expected it to be. Not bad at all when you throw in all the extra content you get when you purchase at launch!
They had to make Kinect part of every console. It's the only way to give developers options when they make next gen content. If you don't require it, developers won't ever use it as part of the experience if the GAMER c...
For $499 it comes with a year of xbox live that you would need anyway if you play online. That drops the price really to $440 dollars. Right about where everyone hoped it would be at!
Microsoft has worked on the Xbox One to make it future ready. Not only does it support 7.1-channel surround sound audio, it can also playback videos and games in 4k resolution and 3D. If you prefer, you could also upscale existing 1080p content to 4k (if you have a 4k TV or projector ).
In comparison, the PlayStation 4 supports 4K video playback but will not run games in that resolution. 4k or Ultra HD as it is sometimes called, offers a display resolution of 3840 x 2160 pix...
Kinect 2 is not just motion tracking! It's an entire slew of things that can be added to core games to enhance the experience! Developers know that having a controller in your hand is part of the core experience...But with Kinect 2 they can augment gameplay with voice commands, simply swiping your hand, by thrusting your controller forward, up, down, etc...Not to take the place of the controller, but to augment the game experience!
When you are playing an RPG and you can...
If the Ps3 was skipped by previous ps1 and ps2 gamers, it's probably because it came out a year later and they couldn't wait and jumped in with the xbox 360!
The one thing that the Ps3 did that was smart and revolutionary was the addition of the blu ray drive!
What does the Ps4 do that changes the game? Every generation gets better graphics...But what else?
This is where Microsoft gets it! Adding blu ray is huge but they are changing ...
I feel what your saying. Microsoft is real good for throwing millions at companies to add features or use their console as the primary system to develop for. Look at Call of Duty Ghosts...MS does this with many developers and it definitely gives the Xbox One an advantage to fans of those blockbuster games!
But I agree that for sure 1st party devs will take advantage of knowing that everyone has Kinnect and everyone has an internet connection!
I have a feeling that both consoles will cost exactly the same! Neither company wants to be seen as the cheaper option! It will come down to which console has more bang for your buck for many holiday shoppers! Parents will look at the specs and the price and the features and make a consumer decision. All the major 3rd party games that gamers love will be on both consoles...First party games only matter to the very hardcore base for each console!
3rd party games sell much mor...
Microsoft did two smart things with this next generation which is getting a lot of bad press from Sony Fans.
1. They made Kinect 2 part of every console! By doing this, developers now can add features to their games that can only be found on Xbox. Developers now know that every console has it and can add voice, hand gestures, controller tracking, and motion to their core games! No way you can be a next gen console and not add features to every system. If Sony doesn't do ...
Anyone who says that they loved the xbox and the xbox 360 but their not buying the Xbox One is a LIE! LOL...
If you loved the first two consoles, that means you loved xbox live, you loved the exclusives, and you loved the controller!
No way you can love the previous two consoles and not purchase the Xbox ONE!
Anyone who says that is Lying and I'm calling it BS. And anyone with commons sense would agree!
The Xbox One will ...
The source of this articles information is a video link of something already posted on N4G! Once again, the video isn't talking about the development of the Xbox one but the actual DESIGN of the console started in 2010! People start commenting without readying the posted article!
They had a design team start working on the look of the console back in 2010! And this is News? And worthy of comparison with the Ps4 & the Wii U? LOL...
Xbox One at E3 will shock the gaming World with multiple exclusives :-)
Most xbox gamers feel exactly like you! I have both systems but I definitely prefer the xbox controller and xbox live over the sony controller and their free online service! Once you go xbox, your rarely go sony! Playing both systems, games just play better with the xbox controller! And with the new xbox one controller, it looks like it will take the game playing to another level. HD Rumble and feels even better in your hands!
Everyone on my friends list...100 of my friends...
Did yall watch the video? The Xbox One has been in the works for over 7 years! LOL...They are only talking about the design and LOOK of the console! Not the internal pieces. 2 to 3 years designing the look of the console! And in my opinion it looks fantastic! It looks expensive, it looks simple, and it looks sharp with the liquid black finish!
I so Giddy right now that I can hardly contain myself! It's amuzing to see sony fans try to guess what it could be, and how can Microsoft be so confident!
All I can say is this:
It is no exaggeration, Xbox One will ignite it's base and excite hardcore gamers!
Many Sony fans will eventually jump in if they are true gamers! Not only will Microsoft keep 99% of their current fanbase, they will add to that base dramatically!
It's actually over 1 billion and it's purely for next gen games! None of that is going towards advertising! They have a seperate budget for advertising! MS is going ALL OUT and at E3, everyone will see what's what!
More will be revealed on that! LOL...On paper stats and raw power only do so much! MS knows exactly what they are doing and gamers will know as well...Soon!
MS is going for the throat this generation and everyone will see the vision at E3!
For me, I get a good laugh reading the sony fans rants about this and that, but they don't understand the tech and they quote others who don't understand the tech...
After E3, everyone will have a b...
