Yeah, cheaters. That's what they call to those people who don't play by the rules and Sony did that exactly.

So because they announced a lower price to the X1, they are cheating?

It's ok, Anfebious is a chronic sufferer of sarcastitis.

Thank **** for that. I'd never heard something so stupid in my life.

Yes, they changed their bussiness plan in accordance to Microsoft plans. That's dirty and unfair, and doesn't promote healthy competition.

So I guess all the 180's MS has done is cheating as well

I don't think the ps4's price is gonna go down anytime soon... If MS had the original price of the x1 as $399, I think there would be more competition between the x1 and the ps4 but until the x1's price is $350 or lower, I don't think Sony has to worry about a thing since most games on the ps4 still look better

Compared to the ps3... The $399 price tag is an amazing move for Sony without a doubt and as each week goes by, it more and more confirms that the ps4 will most likely win this generation

Lets see... in around 7 months on the market PS4:XB1 sales is approx 8M:4M. Ms made kinectless $399 SKU.

so lets say by the end of this year its 15M:8M in favour of the PS4, then by then end of next year its 35M:17M in favour of PS4.

Don't even doubt it, we will see a $299 XB1.

I was astonished at MS's $499 price point. I would never have guessed it.

Price isn't holding me back from Xbone, (or PS4) the lack of games that interest me is.

I'd buy them at their current price if either of them scored Monster Hunter 5 or Bioshock Next.

Ya I can see this happening. Like 360 having a $299/$399 sku and a head start, while Sony announced $599. I can only imagine how MS executives celebrated.

I will admit, it couldn't have been better for a PS fan last E3.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Liars, I bet they changed the price after Microsoft announced the price of the Xbox One. Dirty cheaters.

It's amazing how people can be so dense to the point that they don't understand the humor in this post.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
