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

Lyon this is so much i hope they let people buy Xbox one with out the kinect.
Yeah that will not be happening they would be losing to much money.

Like everyone else is saying its just because of the Kinect but in my opinion they should give you the option if you want it or not...

Lia I personally think $100 more is not too much to ask for. The console looks really nice but I don't think I'll be buying it on day one.
I'm not really that excited for the next gen consoles :L
its a lot just for kinect if they add more stuff on it it would probably be worth it.

Frog Just because they added the Kinect to it which I don't even want anyways. I'd rather just get the PS4 really...

I'm keeping one of my 360's and I wont be buying it straight away, even though its $100 more, there will be more people buying it in my opinion.

LightyearDawDr-J Obviously. But it's worth that without the kinect with the great security and great updates Microsoft does.
I wish we could just get it without the stupid Kinect. Waste of $100.
Same, I would of pre-ordered one by now if it didn't have a kinect attached to it.
Yah I don't really see why the kinect has to me a mandatory acquirement.
I see that Microsoft wants to make more options for game developers but I really don't see why it's so special.
