| drkohler said: What a ridiculously stupid article. Development of both consoles started years ago. Key elemensts were chosen years ago. Nobody could foresee exchange rates then. The Kinect2 hardware is AT LEAST in the $120-$150 manufacturing costs range. Look around for tof camera chip prices (you won't find anything below $250 for a 320*160 pixels camera, if you are lucky. XBox One has a 500*400 pixel camera). If you subtract the Kinect costs, XBox One is actually cheaper priced than the PS4. |
What price you can actually charge for a product is often one of the more dynamic things, however. It is quite possible that Sony intended to charge more, but dropped due to their belief in the LDP's commitment to devaluation.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
