I saw there is going to a new Killer Instinct game, but it's going to be Xbox One exclusive. :(
Never been a big fan of Xbox, but this makes me really sad they make exclusive games like that. Makes me hate them even more now.

The xbox one is a disappointment. Games are so expensive nowadays as it is (seriously, $60 for a new game not to mention DL-fucking-C?!) and with the ban on used or borrowed games from friends it'll only get worse. We're essentially renting games, and with the whole connecting to the internet every 24H what are we going to do when their service runs out in a decade or so? The true gamers will be fucked over, while the other people that use their xbox as a multimedia device will just move to the next generation of consoles.

Seems like the industry is overrun by the thirst for money nowadays.

I doubt anyone is going to buy the console after their first reveal, since the whole thing they were talking was TV TV SPORTS SPORTS TV SPORTS TV

Daily reminder that the PS3 was $1000 AUD at launch

So true

I haven't had a console since the original Xbox when I was like 11 or something lol. But if I do buy into this generation of consoles, I'm certainly not getting the Xbox one and I encourage everyone to also boycott them for their greedy profit-oriented decisions. Hopefully they'll learn from their mistake and be able to offer us something much better when the next generation comes around.

Screw Xbox One, my Xbox 360 does shit so much better and I can watch TV on my TV just fine without a console that will allow me to watch TV on my TV. Besides, who the hell is actually going to deal with that used game stuff? I haven't had a PS3 in my entire life so I might just grab the PS4 to make up for it. Nice way of driving off people Microsoft.

This is even more crazy with the iPhone deal about phones. I mean, the fucking Xbox One looks like a damn converter box. The controller looks scary as it is and the console itself looks too bulky. I mean it looks nice if it would be smaller but it's too bulky. The fact that it doesn't have an external memory HDD? That makes it worse because I play bunches of games on my Xbox 360 as well as downloading them.

This entire thing is a joke, hello PS4.

You guys made my day. Thanks.

:D

It's kinda silly to have either of those priced at the same number when it comes to € and ₤. I mean the difference is quite notable lol.

Well yeah, that's why, as the title says, their euro and pound prices are different. :P
silmarilen
euro and dollar is still a big difference, its like 30% more expensive here

It just bothers me a lot that people complain for the European market increased price, , you guys do know that everyone in south america who wants to buy a PS4 is going to have to pay about 700 US$ ? (approx 200 US$ more than in Europe, and 300 US$ more than in the US)
The same happened to PS3 and Xbox 360 when they launched, and that's why most of us couldn't afford it until the prices lowered to about 300 US$ in the US, and even then a PS3 cost about 650 US$ in Argentina for example... (3000 ARS)

Anyway, just gonna drop this right here

but europe is a whole different story than south america or whatever

But it's still cheaper than most of the world excluding USA... that's my point.

Final scores
Xbox - 1
Playstation - 4

I really like the games featured on PS4. Kingdom hearts and FF XV for example
CoD on xbox... no.

The only thing that seems worthwhile at all on the xbone is Crimson Dragon. Maybe I'll try it out if a friend gets the console.

Otherwise, wow, what a shit show.

Not really. US prices are always displayed excl. VAT, while European prices always include taxes. So, quick calculation, supposing that VAT in the US is ~19%:

499*1.19 = 594 USD = 447 €.

If we add fees due to European customs and local laws, the price gets close to 499 €.

it seems like xbox took 359 steps backwards..

So does that mean I'll still have to buy an Xbox One to play the upcoming Halo because that's just absurd. There is no way someone is paying me to play Halo 5 on an Xbox One. Vibration on the new controller maybe more responsive and more realistic (possibly more painful) but it's still not good enough to be paying 500$ for.

worst thing about both xbox one and ps4 is that the new games are going to be 100$ USD which is just ridiculous. Who would pay 100$ for a video game?

you would probably be surprised about how many people would pay that much just to play a video game

seems to me that the only think Xbox One has to offer is Halo 5, and as Hika said, not really worth getting for just the one game

As long as we consumers are able to tell Microsoft indirectly (by not buying the product) that it sucks, they're probably going to consider making it for Xbox 360 and continue doing it until they go monopoly on us. Woooo.
