That 15 number is not going to be just pure "Xbone exclusives". It's going to include cross-generation shit (X360/Xbone), like Fantasia. It's highly likely that they're going to include something like the Fable remake in that number too.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. That'll be great. IhopeI'm wrong. However, I do not have any faith in them what so ever. They have not earnedanygood will in a very, very long time.
This is the exact wording at the conference: "Microsoft Studios plans to release more than 15 exclusive games in the first year of Xbox one, eight of which are brand new franchises." That's vague, bullshit marketing speak and that'll be spun to include any Microsoft Studio title, not just Xbone games. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it included that Halo Spartan Ops Windows 8 game that was just announced (which will probably hit XBLA at some point).
It'd be great if they surprised me, it really would, I love my X360. I'm not going to set myself up to be disappointed by them after the nonsense way they've handled everything so far though and their track record over the last few years.

I really do not see the PS4 launching that low, even if the bill of materials really is that low. I highly doubt any package for it will be below $399.99. It'd be nice if the Xbone does go as low as $399.99 though, since we were all fearing a $500 launch for non-subsidized boxes.

Pretty good list of PS4 launch titles and info on exclusives.

Being able to goof around playing something in bed or on the shitter, or when the wife/kids are occupying the living room system would be cool. I always thought the Vita was a sexy little device but could never justify the purpose. I know the 3DS has a ton of titles too, but I feel like I can get that type of game on my phone/ipad.
KOTOR on the Ipad is pretty sweet!

I have a Vita now, and I find myself using it more than any console exactly for the reason given. Can pause any game at any time and play wherever in the house, changing rooms whenever something comes up. There is still a shortage of games (though there are some very good ones), but the killer for it is still the super overpriced shitty proprietary memory cards.
Being able to stream ps4 games directly to the Vita would bypass both downsides, though I'm skeptical as to how the controls will work on the vita for ps4 games.
DriveClub looks to be the only PS4 exclusive that really gets my attention, but as a huge car geek a good driving game is almost a system seller all by itself.
Killzone seems... meh? I played KZ2 I think and don't really remember it, that series seems outclassed by Halo/Gears. Am I missing something?
If DriveClub is as good as it looks, then it will be a day 1 purchase along with Forza and the Xbone... GT6 I am hopeful for, but GT5 was hugely disappointing. It looks amazing and drives amazingly, but the sounds weren't that great and the career mode was confusing and boring. I think the Forza team caught up to and overtook GT this gen.

Just rewatched that part of the conference "We will have 15 exclusive titles launching next year..." no mention in the sentence of XBone or X360 specifying system for the games - it's not unreasonable to think that he means Microsoft gaming consoles in general with that number. (Especially looking at their history with exclusive quantity)
There's an implication because they mention it's within the "XBone launch year" - but why would you choose a wording to allow you to fudge the numbers and add both systems together and not actually add them together?
Especially when it's an unrealistically high number.
the playstation eye is actually sold separately according to some stuff dug up on neogaf

Basically, the APUs of both chips should cost around the same (see digital foundry's xbox one spec analysis for more info -http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/di...lysis-xbox-one), but the GDDR5 ram in the PS4 should be more costly than the DDR3 ram used in the Xbox One. It's estimated that the GDDR5 ram should account for an extra $30-50~ on the BOM. The extra costs for the Xbox One are related to the Kinect, the HDMI in, and a few other bits and pieces.

Not having to pay for something I don't want brings comfort to both my mind and my wallet!
