Hmm hope not! One of them (I am thinking Sony but can't say for sure) said they were keeping them at $60.
I'm already in a pattern of waiting a year (or two) for most games to be $20 :P
I wish MS gave more details about the hardware. They really only provided basic stuff.
Like the RAM. It'll have 8GB or RAM, but is it DDR3....GDDR5? That kind of thing...
I hope they aren't specifically vague and we later find out it's DDR3...while cheaper, it's also old technology.
Where were the games? They seemed to spend most of the time talking about TV functionality. :? They mentioned two exclusives, but everything else they showed is on the other system as well.

Thats the majority of peoples early complaints. That MS seems to be catering more to overall social media/tv than just games, and no games presentation.
Its funny, if you combine PS4's presser with this one, you'd have a much clearer understanding.
MS showed the system,kinect, but not much from games.
PS showed games, but not the system(besides the controller)
And so you see, I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you.

Well, I'm pretty sure E3 will shed some light on a lot of this stuff.
Is it me or ...Microsoft revealing their new system 3 weeks prior to E3. :? What's left for them to present to "wow" the crowd? Three weeks!
All things PS4 have been pretty hush-hush since February.
I wonder if MS would have been better off keeping a lid on the new system until E3, whereby taking away some of Sony's "thunder".
I don't get it.

i dont care for all these inclusive home entertainment capabilities. In either machine.
I just want something that is reasonably quiet, wont malfunction, and plays the next 5-7 years' worth of games that improve upon the past 5-7 years. Tweak the controllers, online play, etc. I dont need to control my cable box, check my facebook, while I order a pizza with it. There are things that do those things better: Cable Box, CPU/Phone, and Telephone.

the only feature i use on my 360 other than playing games is listening to last fm.
So apparently I need a Kinect to run the new Xbox? Is it going to come bundled with one? I have less than 0 interest in Kinect and sure as hell won't be buying one separately just to play Xbox games.

ditto. playstation is starting to win my vote when it's time to purchase a new gen.
So MS actually is using a 8GB DDR3 for it's memory. Wow. Just enforces the idea that this system is more of a hub than a gaming system. Sony's 8GB GDDR5 is waaay better...as is their CPU.

Not sure what their thinking is here... :?
How is the CPU better? The PS3 CPU was better than 360's as well and fat lot of good that did.

Who knows if that'll actually pan out...
With app games, they need to get cheaper anyway. They are losing the market.
Thats how I do it as well.

I like the retro look. I may be in a very small minority though.

Yeah, I don't think either company wants to deal with another red ring or yellow light.
wow, that is some serious bullshit. aside from gamers, that is going to put a dent in retailers like gamestop, fye, etc.

Heres the side by side specs of both systems:
