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'.

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.

Well in the current state of the economy inflation plays a large part in prices of goods. The new generation consoles do not really cost as much as some people think that they do.
