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.

The question wasn't about Sony or Nintendo's experience in the industry, the question is whether people are paying more for less hardware, to which I proposed an alternate reasoning, which is the experience of Microsofts system. You may not like it, hell, I may not like it. But there are actually people out there who value XBL, the servers, the community, the games etc... over that of Microsoft's competitors. Now, I can't attach a dollar figure to that, but some people may in fact be able to justify spending $100 extra for that experience. That's all I'm saying.
And yes, all that aside, the hardware is weaker. We've known this for a long time now, so it's not a huge revelation. I was merely presenting a scenario where it wasn't just the power inside the machine that people are factoring into their decision to purchase the X1.
