Mattrick on price:

"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."

This video shows off the UI and it looks as smooth as the reveal in May. Positive Xbone news exists, you guys.

(Is this is how people consume media? Is this how people want to consume media?)

Ah yes, the "value" argument! That worked so well with the PS3!

And here we have a case of flawed analysis leading to flawed conclusions. Despite what the usage statistics might say right now and maybe the past few years, people buy these consoles to play games primarily. If that can be had elsewhere for less and with nicer policies too...

"Also, the Xbox One can be folded out into a functioning Porsche 911! But we're selling it for only half the price of a stand-alone Porsche 911, so we think gamers will really appreciate the added value."

Not really, except when they're shrieking 12-year-olds, but I've also heard those on the PC when BLOPS2 had a free weekend recently.

It's like cable TV. "Here's a bunch of crap channels you don't want, but when we put them all together, they're totally worth $100/month!"

If they are focusing on value already that means they won't budge on price.

Btw, that Playstation sharing video has hit 12 million views on youtube. That's a lot.

Yes, I think people just love to play CoD and will play CoD on whatever console gives them CoD the best.

I was arguing with some dude who said "bros will never buy a Japanese console and will continue their brand loyalty to xbox".

Which just seemed dumb to me, because everyone bought a PS2. I don't really think your average dude gives one fuck about these console wars or anything. They just go to what console seems to be the best and picked up the most traction. This gen here, it was the 360. For a number of reasons I'm sure. It wasn't ridiculously costly for seemingly no reason like the PS3, came out earlier, seemed to have the same and better games than the PS3, and so on.

But that doesn't mean people will automatically pick up on xbox.

Who knows if CoD will be the thing next gen and either way it's coming to PS4 anyway. The PS4's the cheaper console and it's coming out around the same time. Even mainstream media has latched unto the negative aspects of the Xbone and well that starts to get into people's heads, even if wouldn't effect them.

But I mean it can go anyway.

Wii U is Hodor because while Hodor Hodors, Nintendo Nintendos
Xbox One is Robb Stark, for fucking people over, expecting everything to be fine, and will pay a big price
PS4 is Jaime Lannister, on the road to redemption and being the best fucking knight in the realm
Vita is Ramsay Snow, for being a demented son of a bitch who tortures people
3ds is Jon Snow, a respectful and honorable who never balks and does what he's told to do
PC gaming is Daenerys Stormborn, who conquers place after place to gain what is "rightfully" hers
ios/android is Arya Stark, who plans to put holes in every fucker who messes with them

Because Nintendo did Sony a real solid by releasing such a garbage product of their own.

MS has Kinect and a major focus on bullshit that nobody really wants, the weeeeeooooooooooo has that fucking awful tablet, 2008 hardware and no games. Sony really is winning just by showing up.

It's hilarious cuz, Nintendo could have been in a much better position had they not cheaped out and made the Wii U an actual competitor. Would the core gamers be choosing Sony so unanimously if Ninendo hadn't made a backwards console?

Bros will buy COD on whatever console it is easiest to play COD with their friends on. PS4 is $100 easier, so if they want to talk their friends into getting XBox Ones instead they are going to need some good reasons.

If anything they will probably just keep playing on 360 until the new consoles hit critical mass among their social group.

I play online with about 8 other IRL friends who all have 360s and every single one of them has preordered a PS4, for what it's worth. One cancelled a One preorder to do so.
