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

4.4
Xbox director says company is not stressing over being the most expensive console this holiday season; "I just believe that we're going to have a better system," says Albert Penello.

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.

Sanchezio It will be interesting to see which console sells the most units..


I would think that the Xbox One will sell a little better due to all the hype that it is getting, but then you need to take into account that the Xbox One in japan will be like the Wii U here.

Lite Angry gamer 1: XBOX IS BETTER! Angry gamer 2: PS4 IS BETTER! Angry gamer 3: PC MASTER RACE! Me: Why not all of the above O.O


See i like playing games on the xbox don't get me wrong. But the console itself is really terrible. My xbox elite is almost 4 years old and it has had so many problems. Not only that but i've gone through 3 wired mics and 3 controllers. My ps3 is almost 5 years old and it still works well. Also i still have a mic (even though the battery died from never charging lel). and i've never bought any extra controllers. also my ps3 has never **** up my disc with scratches.

yeah thanks MS for telling us not to move the xbox when playing a game. like we knew that would happen after owning the console for an hour. as for PC i have nothing against it but the whole "pc master race" thing is pretty much the most stubborn thing ever.


Don't compare Xbox 360 to the Xbox One, Microsoft is trying hard to make this system good and you people need to stop hating the console, people who play Playstation think they are for the win because Sony has more experience in making game consoles, they might but look at Nintendo more experience then Microsoft and Sony and they suck now, Microsoft makes computers, they know what to put in a console, Sony makes tv's they know how to make video, enough said.

Where did i say i was comparing the two? did you even read anything?

Cokes More because they just threw Kinect in there.


Exactly I wish you could buy it without the Kinect.

Bz377 Ok, people you need to stop about the console being better than the other war. I play Xbox, and I still think PS is a good console too. The Xbox one, and PlayStation 4 are going to be good consoles. So Why does every one grow up and stop bickering at one other about "Oh the Xbox one is better than the PlayStation 4 Blah blah blah" It's annoying.


Such an arrogant thing to say "grow up". There is no bickering here there is no fandom here. What i said is basically how bad the xbox is as console and how terrible MS is as a company. I'm saying that the ps4 will more than likely be the better simply because of the marketing and how it was made.

But oh well all you'll do is go "shut up fanboy you know nothing about consoles hue". yeah whatever.
