no way XB1 will be $399, its equipped with very expensive Kinect 2.0 and don't forget the day 1 XBL fee and Cable fee.$499 PS4
$399 XB1

I think if they go above $500 bundled with a game, they'll have a hard time against the WiiU.
Also I think the price of the next xBox peneds on how much is live gold exclusive. If stuff like the cloud require a gold membership, they can sell the hardware cheaper
PS4: 499 + 599 USD SKUs XB1: 399 + 499 USD SKUsZeviander
Are really expecting just a straight up repeat of 7th gen pricing? I really doubt Sony will make that mistake again of a $600 console. It's not like blu ray drives cost as juch as they did 7 years ago. No reason for PS4 to cost as much as PS3 did at launch.
I spoke to a manager and a regional manager at Gamestop who both seem to think that the Xbox One is going to cost a bit more this coming generation, but nothing too substantial.
All three of our predictions were either a $399 and a $499 sku or $449 and a $549 sku for the PS4, and our guess for the X1 was unclear however we all pictured it a bit higher due to some of the things being bundled with the console.
We did talk over the fact it could be subsidized as well however.
However from when I previously talked to them and they told me that they were worried about the nextbox used games situation, they both feel that there is not a huge concern with either X1 or PS4 now and the regional manager told me he had a meeting about next gen policies in a few days. He said we could talk again after that... ;)

Cable fee? Don't bother. Forget I asked.
Perhaps he meant the TV add-on that will only be available in America at launch?These systems look like they cost $600-700 both will try for the $400-$500, but they'll be taking some loses. X1 with all its fees will make up for it, but if SONY doesnt have some sort of fee for PSN, they be taking losses again.Nengo_Flow
Sony said no big losses on PS4 sales.
$400 for the cheap PS4 model. And $250 for X1 will a 2 year contract. We can bet the X1 will be having some sort of contracts and subsidization.Nengo_Flow
I thought I read no subsidized Xbox Ones....
$400 is the sweet point for both, and both will take a hit on the initial system sale being a loss, IMHO. DDR5 and Kinect 2.0 probably add enough extra to warrant a genuine $500+ for both systems. But $400 is the logical sweet spot and both will hit it.

Sony already said no major losses on sales of PS4s. We will have to see what that means for pricing.

DDR5 aint cheap. I predict they will take a loss. MS can afford it and they won't be undercut price wise again. If they don't take a loss MS will have the cheaper console again and I don't think they want that.[QUOTE="StrongBlackVine"][QUOTE="Nengo_Flow"]These systems look like they cost $600-700 both will try for the $400-$500, but they'll be taking some loses.

Microsoft can eat the losses. Sony plans to turn a profit this year even with the new console launch....

Xbox1 - $499, since every console comes with Kinect.Â
Ps4 - $349 without the eyetoy, $449 with....Really glad it's sold seperately. I don't want to pay extra for something I don't want.Â

WHOOO!
The only way you see $300 price range is if there is a subsidized unit like what is done with cell phones where you are on a contract for 2 to 3 years.
I'd like to see £349 for the PS4.
Could'nt give a toss for the TV BoxOne,I would'nt want one if they giving them away.
