$499 CONFIRMED BY PHIL SPENCER ON STAGE

$499 confirmed. I hope no one actually thinks this is going to make a big dent in PS4 sales.

That poll be damned. And this is a forum of mainly hardcore console gamers. The mass market won't think any better.

So it was the correct price afterall. I've usually marked MS conferences much higher than most on this site but for some reason I found this to be boring. I don't know quite why but everything felt unexciting and generic. The only big possitive takeaway for me was MS managed to keep the X console small.

Shocking. Oh wait I predicted exactly that. It's certainly worth the price.

So Geoff Keighley wasn't paid by Microsoft to get people to think a console was pricier than it actually was for 4 hours to then surprise them with a lower price than they already hoped for and would have cheered anyway, but rather just happened to find out and tweeted about it?
Occam's razor wins again!
