You thought wrong Phil.

The price wouldn't have looked so bad if Sony didn't undercut them by $100 while still offering a more powerful console.

he said i buried paul.

You thought wrong Microsoft. You also thought gamers were stupid on a lot of other aspects as well... You must be feeling prett foolish now... EAT IT. LOL

What he actually said:

"I thought they took out the UK price"

/thread.  

Uhh, he said "I thought they took out the UK price."  Which still sounds moronic considering that was their second highest selling territory with the 360.

It's because of kinect guys.

lol hahah THAT IS GREAT!

kudos to whom ever caught that 

Think i would be happy paying $500 bones for  that garbage? TV TV TV TV TV and some more TV then games that even look good are not even exclusive  So i would end up getting them for PC. Along bricking my system if i don't log in every 24 hours for DRM check  PLUS telling me i can sell my games BUT only to gamestop. On all top all that looking back at the 360 you can basically already abandoned it 

GTFO!  

Edit: they took the uk price out thing

Either way. So now they trying hide from the consumer because it's going cost nearly $700 in uk?

Pretty much this. When I first saw the 499$ price tag, I wasn't very surprised and didn't find it that much a big deal.

Then Sony announced the PS4's price and made the Xbone's price seem much worse in comparison.

All these LIES from the fans of both sides, who can I trust? :cry:tagyhag

It's because of Kinect that nobody was asking for. Microsoft have found a new way to take extra money from their customers by forcing them to buy the gimmick.

I loved how they put Kinect in front of the new Xbox 360 design at the beginning of the conference.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="mariokart64fan"] really? , it seams sony has learned thier lesson with that 499.99 - 599.99 price point yet microsoft thought theyd see if they have better luck with the same price points as ps3 lol Xaero_Gravity

Drop Kinect and it'll lower the price to at least $399

"I thought they'd be happy about the new price" ... is not at all what he said.

They're getting berried.

Well, irregardless, I to am not crazy about the Xbone and ain't buying it. Microsoft messed up and that's they're problem.

Seriously phil? Did you really think that?? Did no one at Microsoft think hold on a minute we have a pretty much identical piece of kit to the ps4 even slightly under powered so will sell it nearer the price of a ps3 at launch but it's ok everyone will be happy lol. Are you kidding me, People slated and ripped apart Sony for having a high price even tho they had a future piece of tech in the machine which cost more than the console it self. their so out of touch with the world it's untrue.

Exactly lol.  Who the f*ck cares how Sony managed to hit that price point.  All that matters is that they did.

Maybe it's time to take the head out of the sand Phil.

Really don't get all the moaning about the price. The Kinect is no longer and add on, its included in the Xbox One. Its awesome and I bet everyone who buys an Xbox one will use it for something. In the long run with price reductions and packages its a really good thing including it. Microsoft announced a price including Kinect and they cant take Kinect out, Sony went next and undercut them with the price. Microsoft will respond maybe not until after Christmas but when they do you will be getting Kinect for much less than if they had sold it separately. I'm sick of hearing PS4 is cheaper with better specifications, taking the innovation and technology in the Kinect sensor I feel the specification in the Xbox One far exceeds that in the PS4 and you have to pay more for it for now.

If they didn't have the stupid kinect bundled with the system, then it would likely be below $400.

Clearly not what he said, but amusing nonetheless.

I guess in such a moment of failure people will search for even more failure.
