E3 2017: Xbox Exec On Xbox One X Being More Expensive Than PS4 Pro

Why are you guys arguing about which system is better? The consoles being built now are being built with traditional PC hardware. Well Microsoft has been doing this the longest but Sony is now locked into using PC parts if they want to start their trend of true backwards compatibility. I don't think Sony will win hardware wars anymore if they're gonna play this game of who has the most powerful hardware with Microsoft using PC parts.

Microsoft was either smart or lazy and decided to use what was already out there and can now play most titles leading back to the OG Xbox. Microsoft IS the PC world and for people who don't have the hardware to game on PC or don't want to deal with hackers, their is the Xbox brand. Microsoft has already built it's ecosystem and Sony is truly the real one that is playing catch up here and always will.

I personally like the Xbox brand. I'm from the US so a bunch of people around me have it and LIVE is tons better to ME due to the simplicity of purchasing games digitally either through the console or on the computer, the Dashboard, and party chat setup is more streamlined than Sony's. Why does Sony's take up the whole screen when going through the chat menus????

The market rejected a $500 xbox.

Their answer? Another $500 xbox.

Good price for USA, but bad price for the rest of the world because of tax. but it's an awesome console. Day 1 buy.

If you think about it that thing can only flop. Unless they sell very low goals for it anyway, positioning it as the high end premium model for the select few that care.

The PS4 was released for 400 bucks, the Xbox One at 500, which they quickly reduced to 400 cause they couldn't compete. Now we're probably not that far away from the next console gen and people are supposed to pay 500 bucks for an upgraded version, which might be more than the next gen will cost at release? And all it does is let you play games in 4K, otherwise everything else stays the same unlike when a true next gen console gets released. Yeah, doesn't sound worth it.

Sounds like an arrogant prick

The problem is, will consumers compare it to PC or PS4Pro? Because whatever MS thinks, if consumers compare it to the PS4Pro, they're shooting themselves in the foot.

Brothers I am telling you, I have a 4h her gaming TV, the most vfm there is , the Samsung KS8000. This TV automatically interpolates the HD signal you get into 4k, I be tried on it the 360, the PS4 and PS4 pro and I am telling you, once you go beyond 950p, you won't tell the difference. Her and 60fps are far more important. I was there was someone to advice me of this before hand, like I do for you. Imo, the most vfm and wisest option is a PS4 slim. For the Sony exclusives and a GTX 1070 for the MS exclusives and have best of both worlds. The productivity of a PC is unparallel and if you play strategy games is a must have. Also the shooters do play best with a mouse. I sold my 360 and got my PS4, then sold it to get my PS4 pro and it really is not worth it and judging from what happened the xbone, the Xbox x will also suffer a 25% loss of power because of its media focused os\ui. Even a GTX 1060 can allow you to play the best MS exclusives, like the Forza games and gears of war. Save the extra cash to buy a better TV, or a mobile like S8+ instead.

I hope many people prefer their PS4 or PC, so I can pick one up without the supply problems the Switch has had.

it´s powerfull enough fot native 4k/60fps, better cooling solution, better looking than ps4 pro, much smaller, 4k bluray, downsampling for all games, backwards compatibility...the xbox one x is worth the $100 over the ps4 pro.

I'm torn on this. I have a PS4 Pro which gets me the 4K games I need and the Xbox One S for the 4K Blu-Ray. I wanna buy this for release but my concern is exclusives. Are there gonna be that many games that take full advantage of the higher specs? Most multi-plat games are gonna be developed for PS4 then ported to XONE X. At least I assume it would take less time to upscale then downscale. So, they are going to have to make it worth it for me.

Not to compare Nintendo and Microsoft, but what games took advantage of the power with the New 3DS besides Xenoblade? I don't think anything else (at least state-side.) So I'm a little skeptical at the moment. But time will tell, I guess.

I think it's obvious why it's more expensive. I also don't think it's too expensive for what it is - it could have been more powerful still, of course, but I think there's easily $500 of technological "value" in that package.

Whether it's worth it for YOU (or me) personally to spend $500?... of course that's going to depend on your personal situation. I don't see a personal need to drop 500 clams on this. I don't see it adding $500 worth of new experiences or improvements to my gaming life. But... I have a Win10 gaming PC and a I DON'T have a 4K TV. So... clearly people with different situations might really want this!

Build the product you want to build, then charge the price that you have to charge. Don't create an inferior product just to reduce the price. If it's worth it, people will buy it.

Already sick of hearing about how powerful it is...i'll still stick to my pc and ps4.

Plus ti has no good exclusives

Anyone else think Xbox One X is a bit overindulgent on the number of X's? It reminds me of those guys in mmos that have names like XStarWarriorX... Just saying.

It's not about the specs it's about the gaaaaaammmeesssssssss

So what? People pay more for phones just to have a slightly better one every year OR storage space.

November 3rd? I thought they said November 7th??
