Lol, that's sad! New Xbox ONE $250,000! Electricity and Online required!

I'd be intersted in the production costs also... For the consoles, not the house!

I remember these lol

The 360 vs ps3 real costs back then

The 360 got exposed back then by this in terms of pricing and what not so i guess that's why people are complaining?

It would be nice to see how things even out now since we got hit with a knee-buckling 1-2 to the jaw by Sony with the new paywall for online like Xbox

I feel the X1 system could've been a hell alot cheap if they didn't bundle the "mandatory" Kinect with it. Didn't the camera cost like $100+ or something? And the bundle comes with a year of Live, so that's probably another $50 added to the bundle cost? So for all we know, the system itself could've been priced around $350.

I just wanted to mention, Motion Controls are applicable to PCs, because well, I use  my DualShock 3(Sixaxis) on my PC... I also know that PCs are Kinectable and can use WiiMotes/Moves, a second screen comes easy via a second monitor. Also, did you include periferals for the PC? (Mouse, Keyboard, a first Screen?) Additionaly, have you included the lower game price for the games? No? Well, then i suggest rethinking this price listing. Also, you do not need a second screen/motion controls to be playing a valid game. So this is all really hard to calculate, maybe you should integrate different tiers of "gaming-hardware-pricing".

TC, add the cost of games for the PC. PS4 will get PS4 games for free.

Not even nearly all of them. Also, PC games are cheaper than console games. Besides, the cost of games is not something you mention specifically; What you mention is if you somehow save from games. I suppose you could mention the price of games in the chart and then maybe add a note that PS4 gets some games for free from PS+.

ps4 and xb1 controller cost 60 at amazon but not sure if that is the official price.

I know some motion hardware can be adapted, e.g. wiimotes but little of it is supported by the software, though I will look into that further.  The PC listed has keyboard and mouse included.  Since no consoles have TV's included and a pc can run on a modern TV I excluded that for the comparison.

All consoles made a big deal out of second screen capabilities in E3 so I thought that a valid comparison point.  If you can think of a game on PC that incorporates a second screen function via another device as opposed to a second monitor option I would be happy to include it.

Yes it is hard to compare all of this, but the gap between consoles and PC prices does appear to be narrowing.

Depends on them. Some of them are the same price. Others are marginally cheaper.

I can't think of a game that really utilises another device fully integrated into the game... I can think of games that offer so much more if you have a second screen though (Supreme Commander). Okay, the exclussion of TV/Monitor may be valid... Looking that most consoles (not sure about that, I know the PS3 can do it, and I wasn't able to find a satisfying way to connect my Wii to my Monitor, but these are not next gen consoles...) can use either a Monitors or TVs, and so do PCs.

EDIT: Also, I might add, my current system is better than the x51 and has cost me 579€ (without OS - which came for a whooping 9€ (windows 8)), though I should add that I assembled it myself
