If their only reason behind purchasing an X1 is for the X1, then yes, they're paying 100 extra for weaker hardware. If they're purchasing the X1 for the hardware, microsoft's experience etc... then no, they're not just paying for weaker hardware.

All of Microsoft's 2 generations of experience in the console business? Also, don't things all inherently make the Xbox One the Xbox One? Hardware is pretty much the console lol. Now if you were buying it for Kinect, then you are getting your money's worth. If you are buying it mostly for gaming, you really aern't. 

Edit: unless of course you like the exclusives so much that the extra $100 is no biggie. 

Yeah, the 10+ years of Microsofts console experience...it has quite a few fans, you know.  o.O

As for the rest, the hardware is weaker, if the OP is comparing it to the PS4, I don't understand why this is such a problem for so many people.

And Sony has 20+ years of experience and Nintendo has 30+ years of experience, if that's a deciding factor. Also, the post was about whether or not you are paying  more for less in terms of power, and you are. That's what the entire topic is about. 


Perhaps the sexy author of the OP could have worded it better but really, the entire thread is about Xbox One being weaker but costing more than the PS4 because of all of the extra crap Microsoft throws in the box.  They aren't paying more for weaker hardware.  The console itself might be exactly the same as the PS4 or possibly even cheaper if it weren't for Kinect.
