Aww I was hoping for good estimates in how much it cost to design these consoles. Instead I got this. I plan to get a PS4 and one game. So I know how much it costs. No need for this thread to tell me it costs a lot more.

I wanna know R&D costs more.


Pretty much, this.

I remember when I got an Xbox 360 and people were saying "Well, you're gonna have to buy a WiFi adapter but with the PS3 you get it for free.  That's another $100 right there...."  Why in the fuck do you just assume I had to buy a Wi Fi adapter?!?  My consoles all sit three feet from my router!  All of these hypothetical "You're gonna have to buy" assumptions tend to serve a specific purpose.  Buy what you want because each case in optional.

Already have Wii Remotes?  Great.  Don't want an extra controller?  Fine.  Not a fan of indie games?  Swell.  Don't tell me what I'll have to buy.  The entry cost of the hardware is all that matters.  For all anyone knows, I rent my games from Gamefly.
