If the box had something that the more casual users wanted and at a sensible price... then maybe. At $500 with what its currently got... don't think so.

You could call the Wii-u the perfect machine for casuals... a second screen, nintendo of the amazingly successful wii... could not do it at their price, what makes you think the Xbox at $500 is going to do it?

So what? Really want to start arguing which machine is the best for the price? I don't think this will be very constructive.
Microsoft has a plan and are actively targeting these markets... The PS4 is not; like it or not; the Xbox One has been designed to be that all in one box. The fact that you think the PS4 is enough for that will not change what Microsoft is doing and what the perception will be when they start their marketing machine for real.

So no, I do not think a WiiU or a PS4 can be compared to the Xbox One in term of offering and I'm not talking about the price... But if the price is the only thing to consider or if you just do not find any additional values in Microsoft's next console; then our opinions are just different :)

Wow calm down... you made a statement about it being aimed at the casual market just like the wii... I dont agree. That's my opinion... don't comment in a forum topic if you don't want people to respond ;) 

The best machine for the price, well that's all a matter of opinion, and fine to argue about, but i didnt specify a casual like market now did i. :) 

Secondly what is it exactly that the PS4 cant do that the Xbox can (if you say live TV or cloud well then this whole conversation is pointless). People talk about the XboxOne being this amazing device that will suddenly appear to be a much better proposition than other consoles, but no one can actually say what this offering is that is above and beyond what we already have/got.The PS4 has all the media gubbings it needs, Gaikai and Sony pictures/music adds another level if they really needed it.

The price is absolutely important on so many levels. If you don't agree, then nothing i can do about that. Yes of course making something look worth the price is very important... but there is nothing shown yet that makes the XboxOne anything more special than the Wii-u or the PS4.
