I really dont think it will matter much this year.  I also believe that unlike last generation MS will be in a much better spot to reduce the price than Sony was last generation.  It really hurt Sony bad to cut the PS3 price so quickly. Think that leads to MS being able to keep the price at a higher starting price point and quickly reduce to the same price as PS4 next year.

 

Thoughts?


I dunno, lets figure it out together.......

Memory

Xb1- uses ddr3, which is on its way out as a standard

PS4- uses DDR5 which is what will be used most often in the future

So over the long term, the Ps4 wins

--------------------------------

RROD-

Xb1- is rumored to have it, and MSFT has a history of engineering failures with its console

PS4- wont have RROD

which would you think increases costs?

----------------------------------------

paying for online play

Xb1- MSFT has always had XBL gold

PS4- now sony has PS+ monthly fee for online

only change here is that Sony incorporates a monthly cost, which should help with the up-front cost that you are referring to

-----------------------------------------

Die Shrinks

-PS4 usually has them first, nuff said
