Owners of both PS4 and Xbox One: Pros and Cons

But MS also needs to knock at least $50.00 off that retail price to make it easier to swallow. Somehow they must get closer to the PS4 price point or they will keep losing marketshare.

I agree. One of the reasons I like XB1 is because of the standard Kinect. I think it's a cool way to interact with the user and I really hope MS and 3rd-party devs take advantage of it for gaming.

Price wise, the XB1 has to come down. Sony surprised MS by targeting $399 from the get-go and it's paying dividends. I bet we will see that $50 drop around September this year.

Just watched a fair amount of Titanfall videos and wife be damned, I'm getting this next week. Luckily, we're slated to get a nice tax return anyway.

The Titanfall bundle is pretty much a price drop considering it comes with a $60 game and month of Xbox Gold. And I'm sure a lot of PS4 owners will get the camera which costs extra. If I was interested in Titanfall, I'd jump all over the bundle. Hell, I still may get it and sell Titanfall for $40 or $50. Otherwise, I may just wait a bit longer to decide between the two systems. I'm legitimately torn on which to get, but all in all, the price difference isn't much when all is considered.

It won't happen. At least not until years from now to spur sales. MS will find other ways to cut the cost and/or add value, such as their recent Titanfall bundle.. To cut out the Kinect would go against the philosophy of the MS belief that the system will be a multimedia hub and not just a game machine like the PS4. I could be wrong but I don't believe so from what I've read about it...

I agree Odogg and like Lt. Dan said I think MS need to stick with their guns on the Kinect. They've got to do a better job of marketing and showing people why it's worth it though.

I was a little apprehensive and self consciouse about talking to the Kinect at first, but I've had no issues and am quite comfortable with it now and even with my "southern drawl" I rarely have to repeat my commands.
