£460 for a console :O

I get the subscription based payment for the 360. The hardware is much cheaper. But for a new console... someone misses a payment and no longer wants to pay? That's a very big loss.

When did the 360 ever cost over £400! It's not a PS3 and that is why the PS3 failed at launch. Even Jack Trenton agreed with that.

But you dont get to keep your phone if you miss a payment. Its a contact youll be required by law to keep up payments or they come after you lol

Next gen consoles always make a loss so itll sell for the 450 price point and they will lose whatever and make it back elsewhere lol

And learn nothing from how badly Sony bombed with the PS3 pricing? Sure they lose some money to begin with, the losses on a console of this spec would be too big for even Microsoft to accept. Look at the 360, it was a billion dollar decision to increase the RAM from the planned 256mb to 512mb, and they only did it after Epic made a very good case for why they should.

I find it hard to believe they will manage to fit all that tech in the box to start with, nevermind throwing a tablet in for good measure, the economics just don't add up.
 
Youd be surprised though. Its not like MS pay prices we pay for hardware and in bulk the cost of each component drops dramatically and at a 400-500 pound price it is feasable. Maybe not with the tablet thrown in but there is no reason why that wont be an extra additional not necessary extra that can be bought at the shop to go with the console.
