Support NeoGAF

"It’s up to us to prove that it’s worth $100 more. I think it is," senior director of product planning and management at Xbox Albert Penello told GameSpot today at PAX Prime in Seattle, Washington.

Penello said the suite of games and services Microsoft is offering with the Xbox One is stronger than the competition.

"I think we do more. I think our games are better. I think as people start to experience Kinect and see what it can do using voice, I think that’s better," he added. "I think the ability to have an all-in-one system where you can plug in the TV, that’s better. I think we’ll have a better online service."

"I just believe that we’re going to have a better system."

Ultimately, consumers want to buy the "best thing," Penello said. The Xbox One's stance as the most premium console this holiday season won't hold it back, he argued.

"$100, when you’re talking $400 vs. $500 [shrugs shoulders]. I don’t believe it’s going to be the deal-killer," he said.

[Foffy]

In price, yes. In value? Hahahahaha.

 

[Shancake]

What is his answer in Australia then?

 

[jordan0386]

Go easy on him, GAF.

 

[zainetor]

not this shit again.

[Mokubba]

I think, I think, I think

 

[Sub_Level]

It's true.

An Xbox One really does cost $100 more. I looked it up.

Let's see gaf try and argue this one.

 

[cjtiger300]

What else would they say?

 

[pixlexic]

I hope you are right ms,,, I hope you are right..

Because right now I am paying $100 fior something ill probably throw in the closest.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Well see about that.
But considering 100 more mainly because of Kinect it seems and still having apps behind a pay wall might not bode well this time.

 

[Crayons]

Microsoft: PR talk

 

[Mr.Marston]

It really isn't.
I suppose if you're into Kinect it might be.

Yall thought he was going to say its not? lol

What else would they say?

[Coolwhip]

I think not, now what?

 

[Brera]

All I keep hearing is that they are all in one?

What do they exactly have apart from some shitty TV guide?

Albert pls.

Premium gaming

Ok, so if the premium price isn't going to hold it back, because it's a freight train baby!... why spend a silly amount of cash to have FIFA14 pack in in EU??

NotSureIfSerious...

 

[Minamu]

It may or may not be better, we'll see about that. That won't necessarily mean we actually want it though. I had a blast playing Mass Effect 3 with Kinect but that doesn't mean I think less of my experiences on my PS3.

 

[Finalizer]

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Even if it was worth 100$+ in value over the PS4 it doesn't mean people will pay that. They will wait for the pricedrop and I would be extremely surprised if that doesn't happen quite early with dropped Kinect.

I think it's not hard to agree with the rest of what he's saying, but LOL. Is this serious? Let them eat cake.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Price will drop within the first year.

 

[ThisWreckage]

This is only true if he's assuming that everyone is on the Kinect 2.0 train and they're not. But even then, it isn't true in my opinion. If both consoles were the same price without any camera accessory then I still think the PS4 is far and away the best value.

 

[Sojgat]

"most premium"

 

[KidBeta]

I think it's not hard to agree with the rest of what he's saying, but LOL. Is this serious? Let them eat cake.

25% seems like a lot when where in the mid hundreds :/

What if it's a really cute girl watching who just happens to work for the NSA? Think about that.

Replacing the source button on your tv remote is the next big thing.

 

[Yuripaw]

I literally laughed when I read the thread title before I even clicked on it, lol

 

[HaRyu]

Of course its $100 more.

All because of that stupid camera.

 

[Seanspeed]

More boring PR speak non-news.

 

[Raysoul]

And it is worth $200 more than Wii U. Yeah, I went there.

 

[Future PhaZe]

We'll see. There's potential it could be depending on how much of a step up Kinect is. Not sure why they aren't coming with a Wii sports pack in. That'll hurt.

 

[Playdor]

Kinect is an expensive piece of technology to produce I suppose...

[DBT85]

What else would they say?

Couldn't agree more.

I don't agree with him from what I've seen, but clearly in his position he is always going to say that. Look at some of the stuff Reggie has been saying.

 

[uncharted86]

I'll stick to the $100 less, more powerful game console, thank you.

 

[rudieboy77]

I think there may be a case that their online services/UI may be better than the PS4, but that is really just an assumption based off of last gen. Nothing they have shown game wise supports this. They have been almost silent on first party games for two or three years now compared to Sony, I would have thought they were making amazing games for the new console, yet here we are and nothing.

 

[Doc Evils]

What if it's a really cute girl watching who just happens to work for the NSA? Think about that.

What if the girl...used to be a man?!

 

[Row]

what an amazing role reversal sofar this gen, now just to see if the actual sales reflect that too

I tried to get it in first, but I couldnt my gifs archive page.

i think, your wrong.

It'd be fine to obnoxiously shrug your shoulders if 100 dollars more was a 5% or less higher price, but we're talking about a 25% higher price for a HDMI-in port, related software functionality, and inferior gaming hardware.

 

[LiquidSolid]

Xbone pre-order numbers [shrugs shoulders].

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Worth $100 more?

 

[Finalizer]

Also, Penello-san, while you're busy convincing us of this extra value, mind updating us on that Kinect voice command feature-by-country chart? Might wanna get that clarified before you try to convince everyone of this additional value.

 

[Facism]

Last I heard most of these services are locked behind gold, so it isn't just $100
