Here’s Why Xbox One X is More Expensive Than PS4 Pro According To Microsoft Exec

June 14, 2017 by Jordan Coetsee

“It’s a wonderful premium device in terms of operating those capabilities”

During E3 this year, Microsoft released it’s the latest console, The Xbox One X. While the unveiling was highly anticipated – it met with a very mixed response, with most wondering if this console is worth the 100$ price difference between The Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro – especially considering the fact that both consoles are running the latest games with generally the same graphical results.

Microsoft executive Dave McCarthy wanted to defend the increase in the price of Xbox One X, reassuring customers that the hardware specs of this latest console warrant the $499.00 price tag.

“As far as I’m aware, there is nothing that offers the combination of power and performance at the price that we’re doing right now [with Xbox One X]. If I were to make a comparison on the capabilities with the 6 teraflops and the extra RAM we have in the machine, the true 4K gaming, which is more than just the 8 million pixels; you’ve got HDR, spacial audio support with Dolby Atmos. I would make more of a comparison to the PC space in terms of capabilities,” he says.

 The spokesman of Microsoft considers that the price set is excellent considering “it’s a wonderful premium device in terms of operating those capabilities. Xbox One is still a great device for us; supporting HDR gaming and the 4K video and the 4K Blu-ray stuff.”
The Xbox One X will release November 7, 2017.
