Same price for PS4 also for those games. http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&nod..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=B9F45578FFC640039F84 Hope that isn't their real price. No way in hell am I paying $100 for Watch Dogs even as great as it is.
Likely placeholders. Retailers often put crazy prices for preorders so that they don't end up having to raise the price later on (in case the suggested price goes up from expectations or whatever). Those games won't be $99 (unless we're talking special editions). edit: There are other games for $60 too (Quantum Break, Ryse, BF4, etc.).
I'm just going to keep my 360 and play Halo until the online userbase dries up enough to force me to buy a PS4 or WiiU.
Microsoft: So here's this peripheral that you may or may not want, but we're going to make it so that the console won't operate without it. Oh yeah, and because it's mandatory, we're going to have to jack up the price of the console bundle from where we could've sold it to you if it didn't come with a Kinect. Enjoy.
I'm pretty sure those Amazon game prices are just placeholders. No way will games actually cost $100. It's common for sites to use placeholders when a new product is initially listed for preorder before its MSRP is finalized. The Witcher 3 and Titanfall were the only two games that really wowed me at this conference. I'll be picking up both games for PC.
Actually, the iPhone 5 is $649 without a contract... And no, not everybody should be okay with it. That is why we make decisions on purchases. Does this item provide the value to us? To some it will, to others it won't. Just like I rarely pay $60 for a game, but a lot of people do. I wait a few months and get it for $30 or less. I'm comparing the Wii U to the Xbox One. The Wii U, which doesn't play Blu-Ray, has way less RAM, a much smaller hard drive, doesn't have DVR and just inferior specs to the new generation launched at $299. Laughable that you expected Xbox One to be in that same area.
To be fair, the Wii U is horribly priced too. Both of them are priced well above the tech they offer IMO. 360 and PS3 offered much more for their price tags when they launched.
You're missing the point. They DO NOT raise the price of smart phones every new generation; they're around $600-700 without subsidies all the time. You realize the Wii U comes with a $150 controller right? You're obviously speaking as someone who doesn't have one and probably hasn't even played one. As for "DVR" I buy consoles to play games, which is why I'm getting a PS4. If you want to be another sucker that just nods and pays whatever Microsoft tells you to, that's up to you.
Sound like a real fanboy now. If anyone buys the Xbox, they're a sucker that nods up and pays whatever Microsoft tells them to.
Total fanboy here, because I don't have a Xbox or Xbox360 or pay for Xbox Live every year. (see the signature)
You don't like being called a clown yet you call other people suckers because they want to buy something you don't.
PS3 was $500 (20GB) and $600 (60 GB) Xbox One does a lot (perhaps too much). Guesses for PS4? Somewhere between $399 - $499.
Consoles, more than any other electronics, are not about the hardware. The hardware does not define the user experience. It's about the titles. It's not like buying a PC, where you're going to much more use otherwise out of it than gaming. That is changing, but not enough to really affect the pricing structure.
No, I'm calling the person who says that Microsoft bumping their price tag $200 over the current generation is a "natural progression" a sucker. As for you or anyone else, I couldn't care less what you do or don't do.
