Activision getting ready to release the biggest First Person Shooter this year but they did take some time to talk about the two next gen systems.

"If you do a focus group of a gazillion people and you show them two prices for two competitive products, 100 percent always prefer the lower price," says Activision CEO. "

Activision: "Xbox One has to "convince" gamers that it's worth $499,"

"I think from a first impression standpoint the win goes to Sony, at least as it relates to pricing. Microsoft is going to have to win the hearts and minds and convince people that the higher price point is worth it, and that it provides really meaningful capabilities that will be meaningful to consumers. And it's a long game, so I am sure that's what they intend on trying to do."

To compare the two next gen systems:

PS4 + PSPlus= $450

XboxOne+ xboxLive= $560

They said that a lot this year which is odd because you dont want to say that to not get angry fans but hey even EA and Ubisoft i believe said a similar thing eariler before E3 starts which is funny.

They havent confirmed CoD:Ghosts for the WiiU yet

It's only really under the idea that both products are equal except for price.

I would happily pay a little more for the product I want over the product I dont.

Its true that those more casual gamers might punch for the lower price console because they see multiplats on both console and cant justify the extra 100 on the Xbox One. Me...Im X1 day 1.

unless kinect can cancel out random noise from the background "which it can't", why wouldn't you get a personal mic also why are you adding in the EYE? thats optional I don't need it to play my games.

If what he said was true then no one would have bought a PS3 cos the 360 was ALWAYS cheaper. He said "100%" of people buy the cheaper console.

They do need to do something. Either cut the price, or throw in a year of live and a game or something. 

Only diehard Xbox fans will buy it at $100 more.

Maybe Activision is a little mad with MS for all the support they are trowing at Respawn...

Oh maybe gamestop is telling them that the PS4 is smoking the xbox one is pre-sales,so they know there is a change comming in.

It's funny because at the start of Gen 7, Lems/Casuals said that Xbox would win because it was cheaper, but Cows were set that having "more" (blu ray, cell, etc.) would outweigh the cost and lead their platform to victory. PS3 was then promptly crushed that holiday season by the $250 Wii. Now at the start of Gen 8, Cows are claiming they can win with the $400 PS4 while Lems/Casuals believe that having "more" (Cloud, TV integration, Kinect 2) will outweigh the greater cost. Funny how history repeats itself sometimes.
