Yes, it does have extra power for no reason, but it's not quite like the PS3 because they were able to keep costs in line. Still, if they were wise they would have made it a little weaker and sold it a little cheaper and/or banked the extra cash.

Is it really that big a deal when it's already $100 cheaper than the Xone? 

Costs will come down over time. And that extra power will help make the system more future proof. Without the crazy complications of the Cell this time, I think this approach is better long-term.


If you owned a company and could make an extra $50-$100 per unit on a product that you expect to sell 100 million units of, would you consider it a big deal?

If you were a consumer, and you had 3 product options offering similar experiences, but one was the cheapest, which would you buy?

The answers to those questions should tell you if it is a big deal.
