I am going to love seeing how Microsoft execs deal with the fallout of this.

Spin and backpedal for the next 6 months.

The only bad thing is that Last of Us looks superior to any exclusive that they showed for the PS4. Oh well, have to wait until 2014 for better games I assume.

The same goes with the 360 exclusives they showed that will be released in 2013 though.

Hope we get more details on date and different options soon.

If it really is only one price point at $399 they just killed the XBox One.

Don't forget that the inside track seems to indicate that the PS4 is a more powerful system than the Xbone. I guess you get a Kinect 2 with Xbone though.

Sony must be taking a huge loss on this console.

Developers have had 7 years to work with the PS3 hardware. Just give it a bit of time

So is it safe to assume that The Last Guardian is dead. Totally disappointed it wasn't announced along with a Naught Dog game for PS4.

The big thing against PS4 is that it doesn't seem like it'll have many games available at launch compared to the Xbox One.

Along with the Xbox One it looks like I'll wait a year before considering the PS4 and stick with PC, 360 and PS3 backlog. There's enough there to keep me busy.

How much did they save by not putting spy cameras in the console?

Microsoft is living and dying with Kinect it seems. Take out Kinect, and I guarantee it would be $100 less.

The main difference between the PS4 and PS3 is the architecture. PS3 had one-of hardware, while PS4 will be using standard PC equipment. Huge cost savings there

This is the difference. Microsoft bundled in an overly expensive camera that the vast majority of gamers don't give two damn turds about.

Well, they explicitly said that it HAD to be plugged in and powered for the Xbone to work. Will they pull a SimCity and backtrack that (lie?).

Also the cost of putting in a bluray drive is ALOT cheaper now than 6 or 7 years ago.

Oh and before any currency complaints, looks like it is indeed 399. But who knows they would change it to say . . . 499?
