Is 900p okay? Is Xbox One a worthy 8th gen console now?

Selling $600/$700 consoles kind of ruins the point of them.

I like to know how Sony was able to sell the PS2, which was ridiculously more powerful than the PS1, for only $299.99 and now, they can't do the same thing without the price being $699.99. I mean that too. I'd REALLY like someone to explain that to men because it makes no sense imo.

That depends on where you're from. Here the PS2 cost 500€ at launch. Another thing is, how much loss you're willing to take by selling one. Then again, compared to the current gen, PS2 did not have a HDD/SSD, no Wi-Fi, no bluetooth, had wired controllers without gyroscopes/accelerometers or screen, no HDMI, was made of cheaper plastic, it did not need extra horsepower to run OS in the background. Every time you add something into the console, it comes with a cost that you, as a customer, pay. And every time there's someones patents/trademarks used, you need to pay royalties for it.
