Give me a break if I'm wrong, but I read that the Kinect-less X1 cost $20 more than PS4 to be produced. And I agree that MS have more money to throw. But I believe Sony could keep the price just $20 higher than MS, and saving other $20 to produce PS4, it's a $40 more in the Sony pocket per unit sold. Now, these are numbers based on today production. I don't know what these numbers will be in a year from now :) The production cost will be lower for both in a year, but I suppose the PS4 will be still cheaper to be produced. PS : The Xbox One with Kinect costs $471 to make. The PS4 costs $381. I think the Kinect-less X1 costs $401 to make. |
Honestly I wouldn't put too much faith in those numbers, I know it's the best we have but even if the X1 and PS4 did cost that much to make at one point they almost certainly don't anymore.
