I'm still wondering how the hell PS4 is cheaper. I mean they put so much more into the controller (internal battery, light bar, speaker, touch pad) and have so much more in the box how the hell is it $100 cheaper and apparently making a profit? I mean the Eye is being sold for $60 (which I'm getting with mine) so it would still be cheaper.

It's called subscription. people cried about $599 ps3 but after 6 years ps3 still = $599. PS4 on the other hand will be $399 + $300 (PS+) = $799 after 6 years for at least 50% of it's buyers.

that is true but Live and the Xbox One still cost more and doesn't allow access for apps without it.  Also MMOs and free to play games don't require plus.  I wonder if Live is a requirement for the online check ins and by extension the system.
