Xbox One to cost $399, PS4 for $349 says Pachter
GI.biz reports that Pachter made his predictions in a pre-E3 address to investors today, during which the analyst placed the PS4′s build cost per console at $275, and added that the Xbox One will cost $325 per unit.
Pachter added that Microsoft may still consider a subscription-based Xbox One model at cheaper cost, which backs up rumours of a $299 version.
In the address, Pachter added, “We believe the ability to watch live TV from a cable, telco, or satellite set-top box through Xbox One could entice an MSO to drive subscriptions through a subsidised box in exchange for a multi-year contract. The ‘always connected’ requirement for the Xbox One likely means that a broadband connection will be required, suggesting to us that ISPs may have an incentive to offer a subsidy as well.
“In addition, Microsoft could conceivably subsidise the Xbox One through prepaid Xbox Live Gold subscriptions (as it has done on a limited basis in the past) or premium Skype functionality as well. Similarly, Sony could subsidise the PS4 through prepaid PlayStation Network subscriptions, but unlike Microsoft, it does not have a history of doing so.”
What do you make of the prices above? Do they make sense or are they too expensive? Let us know below.

When the PS3 came out, I payed 550 for it on release day, so I was hoping the Xbox One would be a lot cheaper than that. I'm happy it is, I expect games to stay around the same cost as they already are

Little_KammyWakaFlockaBSMMON good price
But The games are $100 each so thats $500 for an xbox one unless a bundle is cheaper. most likely not :(
Im still going to get xbox one
How do you know games are going to be 100 dollars? I highly doubt that
Amazon UK listed FIFA 14 at 90 pounds, it does say you pay the lowest price but its still a rough idea of what we're expecting
Zavvi listed FIFA 14 at 40 pounds on Xbox One

VisionaryMGMTMW2-Rush This is insanely cheaper, than What I was expecting. Hope these are the prices.
This is the only thing they have going for them right now. If PS4 actually is cheaper, a lot of people will drift more towards it because right now it looks like Sony is focusing on the games and xbox is focusing on the entertainment aspects.
Plus PS4 gave way more of a presentation at the reveal. Xbox One bombed it when they talked about the TV more. I still am more and likely going to get the Xbox One but I'm waiting for E3 to make my final decision.

A lot cheaper than I expected. I don't know why but I originally expected the Xbox One and PS4 to be around $450-$500.
