PS4 hardware loss will be recovered at launch
The quote comes from Sony Japan executive Masayasu Ito, who explained the company’s hopes to Eurogamer. The site also cites unnamed sources who suggest that there will be a $60 loss for each $399 PS4 sold, however, Ito denied the figure when asked if it was accurate.
He could not confirm if more than one launch title would have to be bought to negate the loss, but hoped that each customers’s initial PS4 spend would recoup the sum. He stressed that regardless, PS4 is poised to make a profit quicker than PS3, echoing earlier comments from Sony’s Andrew House.

PS4 Is 100$ cheaper than the xbox one. Kinect is pointless unless you play games with your family.
You can give it commands and it will do them
Ya but we are not all lazy and we can turn on our own xbox and switch tv chnnels and for the fact they dont let you preorder it with out the gaynect is showing all they want is money money money and dont give 2 F's about you.
You're retarded. The reason they are forcing you to purchase the Xbox with the kinect is to allow developers to utilize the technology. Developers would love to make games for the kinect but since people don't want to buy the kinect or even try it, they are forced to not make anything for it. Microsoft is trying to get idiots like you to try something new and to give developers a new standpoint in developing games for them.

PlayStation is not exactly know as a moneymaker, so you cannot be sure on that.

From a Australian stand point it's only $50 and when you convert the Aus prices to USD the ps4 is $510 USD and the X1 $560 USD. So why did the ps4 price jump $110 but the X1 only jumped $60?.
