WTF?

PS3 launched in Plymouth UK for 500GBP. Xbox 360 was 400 GBP.

Xbox One is nearly 100 quid cheaper than PS3 launched for.

No your wrong. Business wise price isnt king. The wasted R&D costs of the PS Eye are gona concern shareholders. And the lack of support p*ss off people who purchse the Eye.

Sony tried to play the short game. The fact that Xbox One had 400% more Preorders than Xbox 360 show Microsoft did a great job. If not for the initial DRM debacle it could have been alot more.

Xbox One is priced almost identical to 360 launched. I can get just as many games at Xbox One launch as I did with the 360 in Dec 2005.

Kinect will always sell with every Xbox One.

Preorders are up on previous gen, Price roughly the same. Next generation features abound.

Tell me again why Microsoft would remove it for a Sku? 

Because its gonna get outsold massivley by PS4 in the first 2 years, they will be going for a budget sku within that time frame. Just like Sony had to do with PS3.

Ps3 launched at £425 thats just a fact, you clearly got ripped off in plymouth if you paid £500. You can check that fact quite easily google is your friend.

Sorry I was inculding a game with the PS3. Since Xbox One you get one free.

Even then, PS3 's preorders were lower than Xbox Ones.

I wouldnt be so sure about Ps4 outselling even at a lower price point. 360 outsold PS3 because it had better games in its first 3 years. Fact on Metacritic average over first 3 years.

Bioshock for example didnt release on Ps3 till much later. Many big games werent on the PS3 early on. That drove lots of people to 360.

Xbox One has what many people call one of the best launch lineups ever. The whole first year. Even my Super Nintendo didnt have that many high quality big games.

Think alot of you are gonna be shocked. Alot of the preorders numbers is to do with lack of hardware.

At Game in the UK you can only now get an Xbox One preorder on Phase 4. Thats after Christmas. I got in early in May. My friend preordered last week. His reciept says Phase 4. Which means delivery arrives or is expected to arrive on January 6th.

Demand is very high for Xbox One.

There will be no Kinectless Sku. That would be like burning the Xbox One's next generation right there.

Sorry to burst your bubble but 360 only outsold PS3 in one year: 2008. Every other full year PS3's been on the market it outsold 360.
