| Mr Puggsly said: First of all you're changing the subject. The fact is Sony is charging for online play to because they see MS making a fuck ton of money on Live and want in on that. Sony made a pretty big decision based on profit, not making consumers happy. I said for years that Sony will eventually charge for online play and that's when the complaints about Xbox Live fees will stop. It will become a discussion of which service is the better value. |
This is really a no-brainer. Had the PS3 come out with charging for online play, there would have been no competition. Overpriced, underdelivering in games at launch, and also paying for online would have been certain death. They survived by a free online cookie (what cost them tons of money over the years). It was pretty obvious the next console would no longer be free online right from the start.
And to get back to the topic. No, the XBox One is not overpriced, it is actually much cheaper than the PS4 given the Kinect2 hardware (which in my books is at least a $200 device).
