$500, cant see it being anything less. If it's more than $500 it will really struggle, particularly with Sony able to reduce the price any time they want.

Sorry I meant the price-cuts even since Xbox One was released. Sony meanwhile has done price-cuts as and when it pleased.

Heh, maybe but if they keep adding specs as eastmen suggests who knows what the cost will be. Certainly with the current suggested specs I wouldn't be surprised if they made a small loss. Add that to the current Xbox One price-cuts and costs MS has been eating as a result and it doesn't paint a...

Microsoft are going to up Scorpio's specs until their heart's content? Do you think MS is willing to eat big losses on each unit sold so they have the power advantage? Even as is, it's looking like costing $100 more than PS4 Pro, and Sony will have the option of doing a price-cut when Scorpio...

A 2016 release is absolutely the right thing for Sony to do. An entire year headstart for the dominant market leader is huge, and pretty much guarantees Sony the upper hand. Scorpio coming out a year later will be expected to be more powerful, just in the same way people think of phones. By the...

Yes the idea that power is the overwhelming variable in people choosing a console is a nonsense. People are interested in games, price, what their friends have, and brand appeal. Neo is backwards-compatible with PS4 which is the market leader with a huge install base. Not many gamers are going...

Xbox HD DVD add-on Kinect 2.0 I see a pattern here...

That's incredible. There's still massive demand for this thing here in the UK too. Its going to smash through 5m easy. Infamous will help spurs sales too.

Yes you've just said you will use you won't buy a tablet to browse and check your emails at home (like that would be its only use). Your choice as I've already said. Fair to say you're probably in the minority there, and I wouldn't expect many people to use IE 10 on Xbone, but hey it's an option.

Right so the iPhone is too small for home browsing, but presumably not when you're on the go..? So every time you want to check your emails you're going to turn on your Xbox. Doesn't sound very practical to me, especially tablets can be so cheap, and virtually everyone has a PC, but each to...

Yep seems like a gimmick. Having a second screen allows you to carrying on playing, while intermittently checking your tips site, rather than stopping entirely. With tablet penetration increasing all the time, I really don't see internet browsing on a TV taking off at all. The voice...

Exclusives are a big reason why a lot of people go for a particular console. So are the big multiplatform games like COD, FIFA, Assassins Creed. The fact that an old-engine COD game is 720p is worrying for MS. As their tools improve, multiplatform games should get better. But if PS3...

A 125% advantage in the number of pixels is massive. Even the PS3 didn't have that much of a deficit so it's hardly surprising that this has generated so much news, especially on such an old engine. I don't see how Esram 'will be a wash with Gddr5' either. MS has some massive issues ahead, but...

That is shocking, especially for a relatively basic game like COD. Sony can hit it big with advertising that says Call of Duty - Only 1080p on PlayStation'.

That's true. $100 or 100 Euros is a big deal, and sounds great from a marketing point of view. The bad publicity around Xbone is reminiscent of the PS3.
