Does 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.

Of 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.

Far superior? Reference? 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.

Not sure- somewhat, but here's the best comparison I've found online: http://www.anandtech.com/print/6972/xbox-one-hardware-compar...
