Price is really interesting to me. I have a leaked document (basically is MS's first blueprint for what they were aiming to achieve with the X1) from 2010 that says MS were fully expecting the PS4 to retail at $399 based upon a "historical assumption".
Why then they went with a $499 price tag bothers me. The hardware is weaker. The DRM has turned the Internet against them... it doesn't make sense to me.
