Hard pass. Nothing there at all to warrant buying a $500 box.

 

[dc89]

This is going to be 499 Brexits (£) and it will tank in the U.K. for that reason.

 

[DJ88]

I thought the $499 leak was an OBVIOUS PR move by MS that only an idiot would believe?

 

[SRTtoZ]

Oof MS had a rough conference.

 

[e-gamer]

dead on arrival.

ps4 pro will be 349 by the end of the year.

Or not.

 

[Fatez]

Geoff is gonna be sued after all??

 

[Linkark07]

Five hundred and ninety nine US Dollars here without taxes, assuming it ever comes.

 

[ScaryShark]

It's going to be brutal on Monday if Sony drops the Pro by $50

 

[Ambient80]

From the Legendary thread

AWW MAN GOTTEM HIGH FIVE!!!

 

[MasterForm]

And not one game shown justifies it. Tsk tsk tsk.

 

[RdN]

Such a shame, Microsoft.

You had the chance to do something great.. And you messed up.

 

[ZoddGutts]

So no price drop for PS4 Pro this year.

 

[MADGAME]

From the Legendary thread

So funny how people act like their thoughts/predictions are the way it's going to be. Someone said "we're being played like a fiddle" like they knew a goddamn thing lol.

 

[Bamboo 竹]

Man, I'm out with that price. Will wait for PS5.

 

[Permanently A]

Praise be

 

[AdventureRacing]

Can't see this helping Xbox sales too much. That was a really average showing by MS, Sony is going to blow them out of the water.

 

[LQX]

Was waiting on the XB1X price before committing to my pre-orders and now I know to pre-order all my games on the PS4/PC. Nothing they showed screamed pay $500 for a new console.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

So I get to play forza, ori and og Xbox BC?

Gtfo of here.

 

[Akai__]

Don't get it. This would have a hard time selling at 399 already, but at 499? What are you doing MS? :/

 

[Rebel Leader]

.... $499?

That's crazy

 

[paskowitz]

Gotta say, Sony played this gen masterfully. I'm sure the 1 X will do well, but it definitely won't be enough to catch Sony.

 

[Immaculate]

this is gonna be $700 CAD lmfao

 

[Merchandise]

Can someone make a compilation of all the 499 naysayers in the old thread?

 

[Zophar]

The conference proves this thing only exists because MS couldn't stand having the stigma of the "weaker" console. They showed off *nothing* to take advantage of this machine despite the year of hype. MS continues to have no vision. $499 just seals the deal.

 

[JaggedSac]

Been hiking all day, did something happen with Geoff?

 

[RyanW]

I'll probably still end up getting it. I need a new Xbox with a working disc drive and I might as well go big. It may end up going on my christmas list though.

Crap conference and 499. Great job MS that is why you don't talk trash if you're not able to back it up. DOA lol sad conference.

lol

 

[DBT85]

Lessons Learned = 0

Do not pass Go

Do not collect $499.

 

[NolbertoS]

Well, it seems MS is slowly leaving the console hardware market. $499 is more of an upper PC gamer, but will fail the casual market appeal. Oh well, Nintendo vs Sony for hardware wars it is then.

 

[EmiPrime]

Well done on shooting yourself in the head Microsoft.

DOA in Europe.

 

[D4Danger]

nah you're okay

 

[Luminaire]

Xbox One Xpensive

 

[Xe4]

The way it looks is kind of funny. Like an upside down PS4 almost.

 

[yukianderson]

Watch Sonyydrop the price of the pro to 349 tomorrow.

 

[oneida]

what is this meme? i donut understand

 

[Brohenheim]

Punished Geoff strikes again

Feels bad man..

RIP pieces.

 

[RobRSG]

Dead on Arrival...

 

[jroc74]

He said the price so fast, no PowerPoint...

Yea, he knows it will be critized.

499 just seemed more realistic the more we all talked about it.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Tinfoil hat Gaf in shambles lol.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Question: why was it important for Geoff to leak this? How did this help anyone but him?

 

[Stripper13]

I saw this face in the stream and thought it was hilarious. I'm so glad that other people do too, because I was worried I was just being picky.

 

[Blablurn]

Quite an unfortunate price.
Would have loved smth cheaper. For more competition.

 

[Hexxen-Panda]

Thing's gonna be 700 Canadian Dollars, at least.
Ouch.

 

[Occam]

Gotta say, Sony played this gen masterfully. I'm sure the 1 X will do well, but it definitely won't be enough to catch Sony.

Why would it do well?

 

[Opa-Pa]

Well, there it is. Kinda shocked that people seriously thought Geoff was full of it and this was gonna be less than 499 lol, like how?

Kinda worrying still because I can't see this selling very well in Europe or Latin America at all.

 

[Kibbles]

They didn't show shit that really takes full potential of the system, terrible job at selling this, extremely disappointing.

The size is impressive though.

 

[TheGameshark]

MS fucked up on that price. The not timed exclusive offerings were pretty week also. Just a meh conference centered around this thing.
