**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

What about if Sony had tried to at least break even on the PS4 and not sold it at a loss, assuming that IS true, then how much would it have cost and would it have sold as well?

We'll never know.
 
The rumours a while back suggested a $60 loss. I've seen other numbers too so yeah you're right we'll probably never know for sure.

This article suggests they're not losing nearly as much compared to previous generations.

IIRC a Microsoft engineer said that Kinect costs almost as much to manufacture as the Xbox One console, so these consoles are probably not as expensive as people think (granted PS4 as a higher end GPU and GDDR5).
 
End of the day it doesn't matter. Sony will sell x amount of PS4's over it's lifetime, Microsoft will sell x amount of XBox One's over it's lifetime and I'll have both as I did with the 360 and PS3.

As I said earlier in this thread, or it may even have been in the PS4 thread, it's the customer that wins in all this by the choices we have. Sony and Microsoft's finances are their concern not mine.
 
mate has an Xbox one. its not as big as I thought. Controller is simply amazing. The graphics for Forza 5 were gobsmacking and I did find myself really thinking, can I really have two consoles. but finally sense won over and will just stick to the ps4.

LOL, good job. Or else your missus will be stringing you up by your balls. :D
 
Just collected mine from the Citylink depo as it wasn't going to come until Monday otherwise where no one would be in to sign for it all week, woman on reception said I wasn't the only one who had been in to collect their Xbox One this morning. Amazon rang me back and have given me another £5 voucher added on to my account.

Just updating it now! it's super quiet and not as big as I thought it would be, the kinect has a nice weight to it as well :).

yeah lol I think this is where sense took over as she'll tolerate the ps4 but the Xbox one Kinect might raise a few eyebrows from her... And forza looked so good as well, still next year might try and see if I can justify one as a family entertainment system...
 
There are a lot of Sony fan boys on there to.

There are also a lot of failed BR drives out there...don't automatically assume it's due to fanboyism.

Anyways I was up at the local GAME where my mate works and yup they have some Day One editions available :) I really considered celebrating my house purchase with one of those :p
 
Anyone got their sound bar working ok?

I have the Samsung 55" ES8000 and the Samsung E551 sound bar, its nearly working but the volume will not control the sound bar only the TV. I am using the pass through HDMI with Sky and the optical out from the Xbox to the sound bar. The sound bar is listed in devices which is good and I do get sound just can't control it from a remote.
