Xbox One price 'less exorbitant after inflation calculation'
Games site Ars Technica has listed most of the major games consoles released since the Atari 2600, and adjusted each system's RRP for inflation to bring all in line with 2013.
The results suggest that the Xbox One, in real terms, is $200 cheaper than the PS3, more than $100 cheaper than the Sega Saturn, and less than half the price of the 3DO and NeoGeo.
Ars Technica's chart also suggests that games consoles are generally launching at a cheaper price in real terms. The Panasonic 3DO remains the most expensive, at a 2013 price of £1127, though the NeoGeo is at a close second at £1111.
These figures only represent US launch prices, however. Microsoft is launching the Xbox One in the UK at £429 for the unit, which calculates to $652.
Sony's PlayStation 4 price holds a key advantage, selling at $399 in the US and £349 in the UK.
Microsoft has confirmed an Xbox One release date of November 2013. It will go head-to-head with the PS4 release which is currently officially 'holiday 2013'.

KatsumiReeve Ps4 will be better then the xbox one for a fact, better specs and a better price by far. will be purchasing the ps4.
We will not know what one is the better console until release. The PS4 is sure looking like the better console at the moment though
Ps4 is the way forward IMO.

BDBimgurFPS_Ryan I have never owned a playstation but maybe now it is time to switch. Microsoft is too steep and is just worried about making money. Probably just going to stick with playing xbox 360.
All companies want money..
True, without money there is no company :)
Well the main goal of a business is to make profit so no surprise there.
