$400 is still too much. Same price point as a stronger console? No thanks.

Yes. Every month, the xbox one has sold exactly as much as there was demand for it. The ps4 has yet to have that. And probably won't for months.
Thats not even its final form...
Amazing.

If Titanfall - the game they paid big bucks for, can't even get 1080p @60fps then what hope does the console have? I'm sorry, but MS have a fuck tonne of money and they skimped on specs - if we had to have Kinect (as we've been told) then the specs should have been even more to compensate for that. So Xbone players are lucky to really get 900p (Ryse) - sure Forza is 1080p, but it's not that good, and it's a car racing game, so it doesn't have to load as many textures and what-not.
I'm just about to give up on the Xbone - it's not next gen at all.

$299 is the magic price point for me. By then, they should really have things revamped and they might announce a lot more games that appeal to me. They should have enough moneyhats by then to make it appealing. Xbox Live might even match the value of Playstation Plus by then - a statement I wouldn't have made a few years ago.

Time for that Kinectless model. It could be a way to price drop while not pissing off the early adopter consumers?

That's been true since e3 of this year... the One should be $349.99 no kinect.
It's fun to poke at futile attempts of corporate cloak and dagger in the face of enthusiasts. Wouldn't be nearly as funny if Microsoft doesn't try so hard to deceive with pseudo-statistics.

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
And I'd hate to be the Microsoft executive that would have to pitch that to ValueAct and Ghaffari

Well then.
At this stage I'm wondering two things.
1. What will MS do if this trend continues for another month or so?
2. Are EA beginning to regret making TitanFall an exclusive for MS. We already know the decision was based upon earlier projected figures.
I don't have any sympathy for EA, but this is potentially lost revenue for Respawn.
As someone who owns both I want the two consoles to be a success. Although I must admit any missed opportunity for some smarmy PR for Nelson is a good day.

You make out there is a almost generation gap between the two. I agree about Kinect though, mine gathers dust.

I think it will be OK as it is also on 360 and PC. All the eggs aren't in the Xbox One basket.
How come you refuse to buy a PS4?
Because, all of my friends are on Xbox Live. Also, if I'm going to buy a console, I will chose the one, with the (in my perspective) better exclusives and I never felt like, that I have to play a Playstation exclusive title. I made that mistake with the PS3 and I never turned it on, besides 1 or 2 times, so I ended up selling it.
I think yes yes no yes

So basically it's over before it started, but I wonder if it means much from a pandering standpoint.
I don't understand all this talk of a 'Kinect free' Xbone SKU. The Kinect is at the heart of the Xbone's philosophy. Much like the WiiU and it's Gamepad I don't understand why people think that MS will abandon this at the drop of a hat.
If they dump Kinect and start trying to slash away at the price to make it comparable to even cheaper than the PS4 it just leaves MS with an under powered console compared to it's direct rival.
The Kinect (love it or loathe it) gives the Xbone a unique selling point and gives the consumer a real alternate to the cheaper and more powerful PS4. If I were MS I'd have done more to lure the family crowd.
"Hey kids lets all gather round the Xbox One and Skype Grandma..., or something"

@petermooreEA Now imagine what position you've been in if Titanfall would be multiplat. It could have been the biggest new IP this gen.
