Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One price : inflation adjusted for PS3 comparison

I'm about confused. What point are you trying to make here? I hate when people just present data without making a point.

If you're trying to say what I think you're trying to say, then I am very disappointed in you, Kowen. You can do better. You must do better.

What this price is telling me is that this gen will look very similar to what we saw last gen: Nintendo will sell better on the first 3 to 4 years and then Sony and Microsoft will do better on the 2 to 3 last years of the gen.

We still don't know how the PS4 will be priced but there is no way it will be cheaper than Xbox one.

PS4 was announced last night @ $399.99.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

My God you would think we never had a console over 399.99 on the market but the very people here to hate were backing Sony when the PS3 was launching at a higher price tag.

Just wait til after the price for PS4 is shown, not only will it be higher but in typical fashion they will completely change their stance on price.

The PS4's launch price will be higher than $499.99? You actually think that?


There is no way, PS4 will be cheaper.  PS4 has to hit the groud running from a financial persepctive for Sony.

you can start to panic now

Ps4 will sell more than 3 mil in the first two quarters on the market. Run and tell that homeboy.

So you're telling us that PS4 and XboxOne will sell less than 25k a week and you still don't know how the PS4 will be priced? Geez...

He says he believed the PS4 would be cheaper. He just (incorrectly) used the comma to seperate two independent sentences.

I admit I did read his post the way you think I read the post. However, I still feel my post is still relevant.



This topic does bring up a interesting point. If look up a inflation calculator and fill in $299 in 2000(launch price of the PS2) you get about $390-$399 in 2013. So basically PS4 is launching at a similiar price point as the PS2.

I'm sorry... what?

You are making efforts to rationalize bad decisions of a company you like. Over the last two weeks it should have become clear to you that Microsoft is about to drive against a wall and today's announcement of the launch price sealed the deal. Yet here you are and tell us that everything is okay.

What will the kowenicki of 2014 be like? Will he tell us that the X1 sells well for its price? That the X1 doesn't sell better, because the market is too stupid to understand its value? That people only hate the X1, because they are too poor to afford one?


I'm not rationalising it, I'm just stating a mathematical fact.

X1 will be sold out in the US and UK at launch.  you dont think so?


Math is not welcome here, people are busy hating! How dare they charge $500 for a console without even announcing something like Ridge Racer? Riiiiiidge racer!
