Ps4 + fifa 14 + eye toy = more than $500
Sony likes to troll alot lol

I know thats the easy way to see it, but you will find that the eyetoy is considered an accessory, and as such isnt considered an essential purchase by many users. Doesnt mean they wont buy it, but they dont take that into consideration.

Sony are not trolling at all, that is the fact.. if you want to play just fifa you do not need a camera.

I know people want to change the facts to suit their own preferences but costwise it's true... this is not up for debate.

Because most people can't see MS' big picture, but enlightened minds like Xzibit can: next step will be a giant Kinect framing a whole stadium that will allow football (true one, not handegg ) teams to play FIFA while they actually play football.

thing is, xbox one has kinect and if we look at the production costs microsoft will probably bleed more money than sony with every sold console.

pretty easy calculation, xbox one is more expensive but does also cost more to produce which makes the deal as fair as the ps4 price.  

if you don't want kinect just don't buy the console but if you are fine with it you will also understand that the price has to be higher. 

not sure what's so hard to understand with that looking at the production costs. 

How much do the consoles cost to make? Surely Kinect does not cost 100+ Euros to make.

no but 50 (fifa, you know )

but to be serious, i believe i read a few times that microsoft will probably lose more per sold console as sony will but not 100% sure. i believe kinect 2 is very expensive and this time microsoft uses own tech and not the tech of that company from israel so r&d was probably also very expensvie.

thing is, both companies have probably a very fair price for what they sell you. if you don't want kinect it is obviously bad that you have to pay for it but you simply have to sell it with every console if you really want to see it used by all the developers (if for apps, games or whatever else)

people should just see it as part of the console and not as extra device. if you don't like the full package don't buy it but accept that the console and kinect 2 was planned for the full experience.

not only that 

Ps4 + fifa 14 + eye toy + Ferrary = much more than $500

AND 

Ps4 + fifa 14 + eye toy + Enterprise building = MUCH MUCH more than $500

Good thing sony is not forcing anyone to buy a ferrari or a enterprise building

omg is so funny... right? right?

nice trolling.

anyway, you can buy a ps2 with 10 games for that price and that's as irrelevant as your ps3 example.

ps4 is competing with wii u and xone and sony's statement wasn't the most intelligent since it makes the ps4 look good in comparisson to xone and bad in comparisson to wii u.

What's trolling about what he said? Most gamers buy third party offerings mostly. So for the core gamers it's either the PS4 or the Xbone as far as home consoles go. The majority wouldn't even consider the WiiU unless you were a fan of Nintendo games.

"third party support included". this part was trolling.

for the core gamer it's either wii u, ps4 or xone as far as home consoles go. your lack of respect towards nintendo gamers won't change that.

ps4 + fifa + a bunch of rental games = 460 euros < xbox + fifa + nothing = 500 euros

or in the case of my country :

ps4 > no xbox at all cause they they think my country is tier 3 or 4 and they dont release her here

Post needed a little editing.

No, you keep the games even after your PS Plus subscription runs out.

But FIFA is digital and thus is no material cost . MS probably paid a set price for their EA deal, so the cost per console would depend on how many units they can sell. More consoles sold, less cost per unit.

"but to be serious" came after that sentence

Not necessarily, but that's not the point of this thread. So if it makes you happy, i hereby decalre that you are correct!

Now then, can you just post on topic or leave this thread to others interesting in discussing the topic itself. Thanks a lot :)

You don't keep the free ones, just the ones you got discounts on.
