That other thread belongs in the Forum Archive, easily lol

 

[DonShula]

Definitely not going to get me back into the Xbox ecosystem. $500 to play what? I'm not trying to be a dick. Their games must just not be for me.

 

[opticalmace]

Yeah... no. Would consider at $400 maybe but definitely not at $500 and the showing thus far.

 

[Continental 0p]

Well, there went all of my hope and most of my interest. Highest price point doesn't bode well for closing

Spoiler

shortening

the sales gap

 

[Kyrios]

Very unattractive price from what they've shown, personally.

 

[Firenze1]

Xbox One X

terrible name. Wasn't it called Xbox Scorpio?

 

[Curufinwe]

I still don't get why so many people convinced themselves $500 was out of the question.

 

[Mooreberg]

I cannot believe they are willingly banging their heads against the same wall again. We'll be hearing about PS5 by the time this thing hits mainstream pricing. They have to hope and pray there is a large enough pool of people who are performance obsessed and don't have a capable PC (there are no indications that a large cross sections of consumers like this exist). Weird, weird, weird.

LOLOLOL

There is more probably in that thread that will eat crow.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Oh man thats a little steep.

Maybe not at launch for me

 

[sikkinixx]

$600 CDN Then?

$649 minimum. Flat exchange is $671 so...

 

[SkylineRKR]

I wonder how big the differences in graphics are going to be regarding Pro vs Scorpio. Checkerboard vs native multiplats. I think the untrained eye can't even see it.

Sure its for the enthusiasts, but in this era of multiplatform dominating the scene it seems the Pro is the de facto choice.

 

[BulletSmoke]

my reaction

 

[Certinty]

No thanks.

Xbox seems pretty much dead exclusives wise but $499 on top of that? Hahahaha.

I'll stick to my PS4 Pro.

 

[ch4fx_]

Is there an error in the thread title? GAF promised me $399..

[Hellshy.]

It is expensive, but with the specs, this makes sense, doesn't it? They've been billing this thing as a premium console from word-go. It eclipsesthe PS4 Pro in specs, ergo it is logical that it would cost more.

It will be a tough sell getting this to resonate with consumers, though.

So for 100 dollars more you will get more games running in 4k vs checkerboard 4k. I ha e seen both and I don't think the average consumer could tell the difference.

 

[HawaiianDreads]

Anyone passing the crow around? Could you pass some this way? Make it 2 helpings I deserve it after confident claiming the price would bee $399.00 in the other thread.

 

[demigod]

I'm sorry Geoff how i doubted you!

 

[Mass Effect]

that other thread sure is funny in hindsight.

who got played like a fiddle again?

 

[Crayon]

I am beside myself.

 

[Zombie James]

So no price drop for PS4 Pro this year.

They could drop to $350 if they want to bring down the gauntlet, but yeah, they have no real reason to drop now. Fuck.

 

[SgtCobra]

"Told you so" /vindicated

Goddammit, well, at least the games look very pretty. And the specs are nothing to scoff about when it comea to consoles, MS knows exactly for which audience they're making this.

 

[Jean Valjean]

Yeah... No. DOA.

 

[floatingcoffins]

can't flimflam the dorritos man

 

[Nipo]

Oh well. Nothing I saw makes it worth $500 since I already have a 1080. Hope those who are excited think it lives up to the promises.

 

[StoopKid]

Price drop or free game by march 2018.

 

[Qwyjibo]

Even though I'm primarily a PC+PS4 gamer, I really REALLY want this thing to succeed. But (assuming) $649 or $699 CAD, this thing is DOA in Canada. I just cannot see what kind of market this will be aimed at.

And if Sony drops the Pro even by $50 (not that they even need to now), who is buying this thing other than the most hardcore console enthusiast?

 

[leehom]

22 exclusive games, 18 indies. $499, doa.

They should've just released it as a new console at that price point and scale down when it becomes more affordable.

3/10 e3 show

 

[im_dany]

499$ means it's dedicated to Xbox fans, but that choice makes no sense. A lower price would've helped them recover part of the userbase even at a loss.

I was hopeful, but I'm going to skip this.

 

[yukianderson]

I think MS made the best argument for the PS4 pro even better than Sony after that conference lol.

 

[dottme]

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.

Exactly. They know they missed the target.

 

[LifEndz]

499.99...that's what I expected.

 

[Immaculate]

From the Legendary thread

lmao

 

[RPGCrazied]

Sony did this insane price on its PS3, and learned a lesson. Seems like Microsoft is going to have to learn one I'm guessing.

 

[illmatic22]

GEOFF WINS AGAIN

 

[Jerm411]

NOPE.....

 

[SomethingInTheSea]

DOA. They didn't do enough to justify the price. I'm in disbelief they announced a $500 price point and didn't show off the power.

They've boxed themselves into a corner because they just don't have the internal spare studio capacity to produce something like that anymore .

 

[GeoramA]

MS is high. Wow.

 

[Muku]

So I guess fake Geoff can stop suing himself on that petition (lol literally hours.. not days like I'd have expected with a petition to go up). No fake news. Glad the Dorito Pope came through for us. (It's what I was expecting it to run at anyway, so no surprise.)

Weren't folks calling him a bitch? I think he just reversed turned around and did that to all his haters.

 

[Bakercat]

Called it, all evidence lead to it being $500

 

[dmr87]

Imagine €499 in Europe.

 

[orochi91]

~$760 after taxes here in Canada!

 

[Cardon]

Anthem looks nice, but I don't know if it looks $500 nice. So yeah, I'll be sticking with my PS4 Pro unless I come into money I can freely spend.

 

[Shiggy]

Geoff is gonna be sued after all??

GEOFF, JUST BECAUSE THE PRICE WAS RIGHT IT DOESN'T MEAN WE WILL BACK DOWN!

https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/sue-geoff-keighley

Absolutely.

 

[Occam]

It's got world exclusive trailers, though!
That's gotta be worth something.

 

[Cranster]

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.

It's one game that isn't Representative of other games or what the hardware is capable of. Of course it's being picky.

so much crow so little time.

 

[AstroNut325]

Praise be

The man is one of the most respected person in the games industry, but I will never not find this funny.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

Well I'll be there Day 1. Was hoping for 399 but I can handle 499.
