The arrogance is astounding. I dont care about the evolution of technology i care about what i pay my money for. That is maybe the logic you missed.

And if the Xbox One and the PS4 both are $400 or ­£400 or whatever the currency is where you are, how does the added value that Microsoft is delivering detract from the value of the console?  If for the same price, you get more features in the box with the Xbox One, wouldn't that make it a better value regardless of whether or not you think those features are important to you now or not?


That is quite simple.

Added costs on the Xbox one: Kinect, fee for online play and probably all these TV features, no rechargeable battery on the gamepad, no used game resale value, no trust in long term core gamer software support. These all lower the value of the Xbox one for the consumer.

If both were sold at 400 the PS4 would offer alot more value per money. Microsoft loves to bundle in all these hidden fees. The TV features because completely inconsequential next to those.
