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.

Yes, but they cant really have done so much amazing stuff to it with $100 thats only gonna really get you a Blu - Ray disc drive and an improved hard drive, so not really that epic to be honest

Microsoft can't comment on the estimated value of their own product as it's bad marketing.

Its only worth more because it will have like a better hard drive installed and a better disc drive add them together theres your $100 simple!

Cokes More because they just threw Kinect in there.


Exactly I wish you could buy it without the Kinect.


exactly, about 80% of people don't even use the crappy Kinect.


And none of you have used Kinect 2.0 so stop acting like you actually know what you're talking about.


Oh be quiet. loads of people say that. It's motion control and lots of people don't want it however good it is.

What everyone doesn't understand, is that the kinect will function so much better on the Xbox One, more games will use it, and it will be an amazing piece of equipment all round.

Iso Microsofts problem, is and always will be that they are pushing it as a media centre first, gaming console second. I've owned all the consoles over the years including gaming PCs. But if I was going to spend $500 I would just build a real media centre PC capable more than what you are limited to by the XB1.

Kinnect is a gimmick just like the gimmick of 3D films and TV its just not for everyone - I just hoped it would die out quicker as Microsoft are trying to create problems that are not even there by all these claims with Kinnects benefit. As MS policies changed once about the DRM, there is nothing stopping them from changing it again in the future they simply changed because they were losing out to the competition and saw that Sony had the upperhand, and Sony took advantage of that.

If and when I ever get another console, It would be the Ps4 for the simple fact is that its for gaming, has massive Indie dev support with self publishing. Console exclusive games have never made me feel the need to go out and buy a console just for a specific game.


Ok heres the thing people are being narrow minded, who buys things such as phones just for calling? people want things that do everything don't you even think Microsoft researches everything, they will know the market share.

Microsoft ain't stupid they are one of the biggest companies around and there is a lot of families that play xbox and buy kinect games trust me i'm an ambassador and the most common questions is about family gold packs meaning there is a lot of families playing.
