Why would one not consider price?  It's a key part of the "value" word you are using.

Yes and they're both (PS4 more so) perceived to be worth their price. Exactly how Wii could have debuted at $399 and it would still have sold gangbusters.


You perceive them to be worth their price.  I don't perceive them to be worth it at all, and I think many will agree.  I'm a 360 owner.  I can play essentially everything XBOne has on my 360.  The only new experiences offered of any relevance are Forza 5, Ryse and Killer Instinct.  Maybe Kinect Sports: Rivals.  The most-hyped title of the first 6 months of XBOne is Titanfall, and again, I can get that on my 360.  That exclusive list is even worse than NSMBU, NintendoLand and ZombiU.  And at $200 more than Wii U, only the most hardcore fans will be jumping on XBOne, and they will buy at launch.  Even worse than Wii U, XBOne has the $100 cheaper PS4 offering a similar if not better experience and Wii U at $200 cheaper and offering many of the same games and bunch of exclusive titles.  I could see XBOne sales being dismal in the new year unless there is a price drop.

PS4 I think will do "OK", but it's not completely unrealistic to say its sales may be poor post-launch.  We really need to see how the market responds to new systems.  PS360 are still well supported and there are more entertainment options than ever out there.
