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.

-Alex-2oh9- I love how everyone just has a complete change of heart about microsoft after they got rid of that DRM, I hope they come back with something worse. Like raise the price of live again and again and again...


i think microsoft should have kept the DRM policies, noone moans about steam so they wouldnt moan about that. so if your saying the DRM policies were a bad thing i think you are wrong

It's only worth 100 dollars more because of that stupid kinect

_Bale The price is stupid, they should sell them without kinect and take some money off the price, I think PS4 will be much better this year IMO


Seriously it's only $100 more, stop acting like it's that big of a deal.

Everything in that news article was an opinion. "I think", "I just believe" etc. It shows that we'll just have to wait until the consoles are out and then make an informed decision then. I'll probably get an Xbox One first- but of course Microsoft are going to say their console's better.

Pufferfish I personally think Xbox One will come out on top over ps4.


it always will as xbox have


Alaways have? only once it came over playstation. Im pretty sure the original xbox didn't dominate the ps2 and microsoft never had a console in the ps1 time. OT If they sell it without the kinect then they can make more of a profit since some people did not like the kinect before.

Some people believe everything they read,without question...

The price is far too much, they should remove the kinect and that would lower the price and they could have a bit more money for more improvements !!
