This is hilariously similar to Sony last gen. Kutaragi explained to IT Media why be believes the price isn't a problem: "This is the PS3 price. Expensive, cheap -- we don't want you to think of it in terms of game machines. Because the PS3 is like nothing else. For instance, is it not nonsense to compare the charge for dinner at the company cafeteria with dinner at a fine restaurant? It's a question of what you can do with that game machine. If you can have an amazing experience, we believe price is not a problem. When we announced the PlayStation price, it was said to be expensive... same for the PlayStation 2. However, when released, both had sales that were unthinkable for previous game machines. This is because both offered experiences that could not be had on previous game machines. With the PS3, you can have next generation game experiences that could previously not be experienced -- things like next generation graphics and various services via the network. And, as with the PS and PS2, we believe people who like games will, without question, purchase it."

I'd rather use the buttons on my television to switch channels than talking to my television

not me, id rather turn on my television by voice.

And you can get a voice activated remote at Walmart for $30. Its only $20 on Amazon.

"We're over-delivering value against other choices I think consumers can get. Any modern product these days you look at it [and] $499 isn't a ridiculous price point. We're delivering thousands of dollars of value to people, so I think they're going to love it when they use it."

Whats the value?

The kinect that comes with the system? Sony has a camera just like it that is sold seperately if you wish to buy one and its 60 dollars, thats still 40 dollars less for a system and the camera than a xb1 with kinect.

XBL gold? For 60 dollars a year you get 2 games a month and ability to play games online and use your netflix account. PS+ is 50 dollars a year and gives you 18 games, 5 new games a month, PSN store discounts and more. PS+ is also not required to use netflix.

The hardware? A PS4 is still superior in the hardware category by a decent margain and costs less.

Games? Sure xb1 will have exclusives but so will the ps4 and the majority of games will be on both systems, and sony is treating the indie guys much better so their support will mean more indie games.

PS+ LMAO. I would rather spend $5 on a cup of coffee every month than than PS+

I expected $499.  It isn't a bad price, I don't think.  I think what makes it look bad is the $399 PS4 price.  With the structure of Xbox One, it is a shame to throw in a measley 500gig drive, where games are required to be installed.  This console should ship with a 3tb hdd because of this matter, especially given the $100 premium over ps4.

MS really need to cancel this launch and put some people in charge who occasionally visit planet earth. Because the Xbox brand will be dead within a couple years if they continue like this, they probably won't have another chance to learn from these mistakes the way its going.

I'm curious if Microsoft (or Sony) is even taking a loss on the XONE. Such hubris. It's like Microsoft is trying to imitate Sony from the start of last generation; granted, just not as bad.

Not to the extent some people are saying. Even before the Sony press conference, people thought that price was too high, not disasterastly high, but they needed to try to make it cheaper That thought just multiplied because of the PS4 price, but it didnt start because of it

I feel like MS is doing what Sony did with the ps3 back in 2006. Just "ONE" problem the spybox one is missing all the cutting edge features from the ps3 in 2006. Back then blu-ray players were 1k and hdmi/wifi and apps were almost unheard of.

Now the spybox has less powerful hardware and more restrictions than the ps4 but claima added value. Really so what does the spybox have that makes it 100 beans better than the ps4???

It has a 1080p cam and a mic. So does my 30 buck webcam.
