The price is right where I expected. This is a premium device in the Xbox brand of the Windows ecosystem. It does not have to sell well because the cost of R&D and development is spread through the entire company, thanks to Microsofts new business stratagy. Due to great business stratagy, the XOX should still cut a profit for Microsoft even if it only ever moves 3 - 5 Million units.

The XBOS, Surface devices, and other Windows based hardware are what gives Microsoft its mass market reach, this is built for the hardcore gamer, and shows a growing respect for gaming hardware, which I absolutely applaud.

Audio equipment, video equipment, displays, speakers, when it comes to electronics and media, every other sector has had respectable, unnecessary high end equipment for decades. I could not be happier, that we are finally getting the option to buy high end consoles.

I will be buying an XBX, and I hope that it and the PS4 Pro lead to a future where I can buy a $1,000+ consoles to hook up to my $10K TV, $3K Reciever, and $5K worth the spearkers, and get the absolute best expereince possible.

Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

DAO as others have said.

The crazy thing is Sony could sell the Pro for $200 less but after them not announcing a competitive price I think they'll only cut the Pro to $349 now. $299 is overkill and they can save that till next year.

no thanks for a checkerboard 4K

if i was into xbox games and didn't have a PC, i would buy it... hope that in the next gen, we could have a premium console worthy of that name... but out at the same time the "normal" one comes out...

For the hardware you're getting this is actually really good.There isn't much incentive to get one yet though.

Im purchasing it, but it isn't for everyone unless you want best experience with third party titles without having to game PC (I hate pc gaming).

Except the third party games you can only play on PS4. Switch will probably get a number of good ones as well.

Anyway I expected this price. But I also thought they'd show us more of an incentive to get an XBOX.
It was hard to see that in the presentation.

True, but every console with have their own third party games. Personally can't wait for player unknown battlegrounds. Seen a lot of PC players playing on twitch and it was bad ass. Just can't stand pc gaming or pc users.

Considering how much cheaper it is to get a good PC these days, that price is pretty atrocious, I feel the same way about the PS4 Pro as well of course.

After they didnt announce the price right at the beginning like Scorpio/Xbox One X itself, i was like 1000% sure they gonna save the 399 Dollar Price tag for last and "Whats now Sony/PS4 Pro!?" Well didnt happen and i was also wrong not believing this Geo guy.

Were you the one who compared Geoff to a random online leaker and thought he might be less credible? Yeah, definitely not proper to compare the host of the entire E3 show to random people with no actual carreer to stake their credibility on.

Yep i was and i was deadly wrong.
