It's $399 because it doesn't include the camera [0]. You can also use other apps without paying it's $50/year to play multiplayer games / PS+. We'll have to wait a year or so though for it's exclusive to catch up with Microsoft's. In two years when tablets get more RAM and cores, and if tablet games get serious the death of consoles AND handhelds will be increased. After all, unless you have people over, personally I would rather play outside, PS Vita style remotely connected to my PC. So. There. Instant startup opportunity. The closest I've found, is what I use with my PS3 controller [1]. I'm looking for something like the Vita, but for the PC because I'm done with consoles. Unless it gets 10+ games that I'm interested in, there's no point. Who wants to be forced to buy the camera, and be monitored like that. IMO, Japan's morals and culture continues to be the best choice when it comes to gaming.

- runevault 13y agoActually it looks like PS+ is required for online MP now. http://kotaku.com/ps4-video-says-playstation-plus-is-mandatory-for-online-512482325 http://kotaku.com/ps4-video-says-playstation-plus-is-mandato...
- jjsz 13y agoYeah, I said that you can use all the apps without paying $50 / year for MP games / PS+. :-)
- meskyanichi 13y agoDoes no one consider comparing the consoles by their hardware specs? Or is a console just a console and do specs not exist? It's seriously amazing that they priced it at $399 with what they are shipping. Could've easily been at $599+. PS4's spec are far superior.
- KingLot 13y agoFar superior? Reference? http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1942974/ps4_xbox_one_hardware_very_closely_aligned.html http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1942974/ps4_xbox_one_hardware_v... Also, PS4's missing the Kinect entirely, so I don't think the price point is amazing.
- jjsz 13y agoNot sure- somewhat, but here's the best comparison I've found online: http://www.anandtech.com/print/6972/xbox-one-hardware-compared-to-playstation-4 http://www.anandtech.com/print/6972/xbox-one-hardware-compar...
- jjsz 13y agoOf course, reddit does [0]. To match the Xbox One, without the $100 Kinect, a controller, or a nice keyboard / mouse combo it's about $700 [1]. So we can imagine something matching the power of the PS4, including a controller or a nice Keyboard to be around $800-850.
