Then why not EXPLAIN this value? People are still searching for answers.

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

You know, that may be true, since it was also true for the PS3 at $600. But, does the consumer care? No. They do not. Most people that buy a gaming console want it for gaming, and nothing else. If something else is on the market that's cheaper, and offers a similar gaming experience, they'd rather get that. Sony learned this the hard way, and now Microsoft will have to as well.

I don't really think it is true to either Xbox One or the PS3 (at 600), since value is something that consumer perceives and if the consumer sees no benefit over cost....than it isn't over-delivering despite what any corporation may say.

"It's a lower number than some of the analysts had forecasted," Mattrick said on Bloomberg TV. "We're over-delivering value against other choices I think consumers can get. Any modern product these days you look at it [and] $499 isn't a ridiculous price point. We're delivering thousands of dollars of value to people, so I think they're going to love it when they use it."

Please elaborate idiot cause i dont think any one sees THOUSANDS of dollars of value in any game console.

Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
