Jesus.

Or €499 in Europe. Good to see Microsoft is taking lessons from Steam! :v:

So basically all Sony needs to do is undercut this by $50 to $100 and they'll have a big advantage. Should be interesting.

I'd buy a new wired controller to use with my PC, but I'd never purchase the console, especially for that price.

[ZachPL]

I don't know how anyone expected 400$ considering the Wii U is 350$

Almost every household has a tablet now and they have no problem shelling out 500$

499 US dollars

bah would have been fun if they pulled a Sony like when they released the ps3

[pr00ch]

If one product was 499 and the other was 500, I'd buy the latter.

That's a $150 price difference. For that difference, I could buy a 3DS for my Animal Crossing.

The part with the Xbox button looks detachable. If you could remove that, the controller actually looks pretty neat.

[ZachPL]

The Wii U is more or less considered equivalent to current generation selling at a price of 350$

Yeah its a 150$ price difference, but that's very little considering how much better it looks from Wii U

[simkas]

Fuck off, everyone outside of the US is paying more than 150 bucks extra and they're not even gonna have access to a bunch of the features.

PS4 won't include a kinect so it is guaranteed to be cheaper

"No problem shelling out $500" - really?

Besides, in Europe we have to pay $661.

Hey I know what I'll get for next Christmas.... a new computer with 499$ :V

But the Xbox One has the pushing power of a mid end computer and all the better.

N-no it's a console nevermind it's definitely a c-c-console uh tv sta-water cooler shit...

[sp]it's not a kinect but still[/sp]

Looks like Nintendo is going to retain the price advantage for the parents who just want the cheapest thing.
