Xbox One Manufacturing Costs $90 Higher Than PS4

By Alex Osborn

A console breakdown of the Xbox One hardware has revealed that the box, including the Kinect and controller, costs a total of $471 to manufacture. This is about $90 more expensive than what it costs to make a PlayStation 4.

 

Naturally, the price disparity is primarily due to the inclusion of Kinect, which is about $75 to make. Since PlayStation 4 does not include a camera, the overall price of Sony's console is much lower than Microsoft's gaming machine.

Here's a full breakdown of Xbox One's hardware costs:

  • Console: $332
  • Kinect: $75
  • Controller: $15
  • Power brick: $25
  • Headset: $10
  • Production: $14

Do you think the Xbox One's $500 tag is a fair asking price? Comment below and let us know.
