I could even agree, but that D-pad is a deal breaker. Of course, the One has a new D-pad, so I'll just know after trying it (and maybe I will regret buying 2 360 controller for my PC las month with the new ones coming in November).

Remember that nothing is perfect.

I can answer that for you.

Bigger and more active online community on Xbox platform. And probably, Son¥ bribe wasn't enough.

There's an easy solution to this "expensive-ness" though.....remove Kinect, and price it at $399!

Honestly I think they BOTH have a challenge to convince people to buy them. $500 to burn during the holidays will go more to iPad's than any of these consoles. Sounds nuts, doesn't it? But it's true.

Seriously, we keep fighting each other while more and more consumers are ignoring consoles. 3 years from now we'll wonder what happend. :

Without kinect, x1 production cost should be less then ps4, kinect alone do not cost more then 100$(since that spy camera in every bundle, i'm talking about production cost), so i don't see why i should pay more for cheaper/worse product.
Even if they throw kinect out and set 399, it's still would be worse then ps4, they should set 449 with kinect or 379/349 without kinect, but they not gonna do it until 2014.

Toyotas  are cheap. Ferraris are expensive. Dualshock controllers and Xbox controllers are the same price. Not exactly the same.

I'm sorry but KZ3 was a great game. 84 metacritic with a fairly close user review averaging at 7.9. So the users of the game and critics were fairly close in its review. I have a lot of fun on the multiplayer, the game supports clan battles. Compare that too Halo 4 (halo a game with a fanatic following) got an 87 metacritic, but a distinctly lower user score of 6.9

Furthermore, KZ3 beat out Crysis 2 for best looking FPS on console

Though to be fair I think I enjoyed Crysis 2 way more than KZ3 multiplayer... Crysis 3 less so

Comparing the screen shots and reviews on Lensoftruth.com I'm not sure if Halo 4 even looks better than KZ3, but I think its fairly close. KZ3 has a bit more grittiness, and Halo 4 has some flair to the graphics that make it look beautiful, but even still I think KZ3 might have the upper hand in graphics over Halo 4 (though that might just be my preference on art style)

We'll have to see if MS can convince people that the One is worth $100 more than the PS4. Allot can change between now and the end of this year so it's hard to say. I think MS might be betting too much on the success of Kinect though.

Ding Ding Ding, we have a fanboy. Good luck convincing your xbox buddies to fork out extra $100 to play COD or Battlefield with. Stupid fanboy!!
