Microsoft: Xbox One is worth $100 more than PlayStation 4

4.4
Xbox director says company is not stressing over being the most expensive console this holiday season; "I just believe that we're going to have a better system," says Albert Penello.

The Xbox One will be $100 more than the PlayStation 4 and $200 more than the Wii U this holiday season, but Microsoft is not stressing over its stance as the most expensive console.


"It’s up to us to prove that it’s worth $100 more. I think it is," senior director of product planning and management at Xbox Albert Penello told GameSpot today at PAX Prime in Seattle, Washington.

Penello said the suite of games and services Microsoft is offering with the Xbox One is stronger than the competition.

"I think we do more. I think our games are better. I think as people start to experience Kinect and see what it can do using voice, I think that’s better," he added. "I think the ability to have an all-in-one system where you can plug in the TV, that’s better. I think we’ll have a better online service."

"I just believe that we’re going to have a better system."

Ultimately, consumers want to buy the "best thing," Penello said. The Xbox One's stance as the most premium console this holiday season won't hold it back, he argued.

"$100, when you’re talking $400 vs. $500 [shrugs shoulders]. I don’t believe it’s going to be the deal-killer," he said.

The Xbox One launches in November for $500.

It's about time Microsoft took a dig back. PS fanboys are willing to dish it out when their company does it and as you can see from some of the commends they are really can't take it when we do it back. ;D What does that tell you?

I'm going to stick with my 360 for as long as I can. There's literally not a single reason to switch over. GTA V, CoD, Battlefield, NHL, Madden, FIFA all come out for the 360. I'm not dropping $500 so I can wait a second or two less on the loading screen.

Try again in a few years, Microsoft.

You sound really dumb. You're just an PlayStation fanboy who is ignorant and thinks 'his' console is the best. Sit down.
