Nope. This is Selnor's exact words:
"Maybe they should have priced PS4 with The One."
That sentence has only one meaning. If he meant that Sony should have priced the PS4 at a profit then he should have said that. He specifically said with the One. Thats $500. Like I said it makes no sense.
Arent you the guy myself and Jay520 had a argument with where you refused to admit you were wrong even though it was blatantly obvious? I feel like we going down that road again. In which case I'll excuse myself.

If they priced it with the one they would be selling for a profit now wouldnt they? ;) Hence the meaning of what he said.
Preferrably PS4 at $450 ($500 with camera "with the one") would likely be a profit or close to it. Just to make this absolutely clear, if PS4 raised the price $50 to make a profit you do realize that it would be the same price (With camera) as XBO right?
The rest of the conversation is a derailment. Go read the rules and maybe stop with the "What I say goes type attitude"

It's not a derailment. You have a particular posting style that refuses to accept you are wrong. It makes it hard to continue the discussion. So its very relevant when you reply to my post.
I will repeat what i said earlier because now you are once again mixing up arguments (you did this in the previous thread as well which makes it relevant here).
Selnor said PS4 should be priced with the One. That is $500. Without any additional value that would price sony out of competition as the Xbox One would have Kinect that is tremendous perceived value over the standalone PS4. It would have been the biggest talking point right now if that was the case. Because there would be no justification for the price to the average consumer. Pre-order numbers would be the opposite of what it is now. That is why i said what Selnor proposed "price it with the one" made no sense.
It Sony was to include the Eye then that changes things because we have no idea what the Eye costs. Selling it at $400, $450, $500 is meaningless because we know nothing about the Eye and its costs. So its pointless to even talk about the eye.
The reason why we can talk about Kinect with estimates is because MS has already stated that they will break even or have a slight profit margin at launch.
Btw...what i say usually goes. I dont post that often and when i do I make sure of what i type and I make sure its backed up, factual and logical. Now we can do this again as it went in the other thread, its up to you. But lets face you know you lost that one
