Microsoft revealed early Monday the prices for two of the key
accessories for the upcoming next-generation Xbox One video game
console — the standalone controller, which will cost $59.99, and an
official Xbox-branded wireless headset to support the consoles various
chat and voice features for an additional $24.99. Like most video game
hardware, the starting bundle that Xbox One owners receive will
include a single controller, and Microsoft has said that the new
device will not be compatible with current-generation Xbox 360
controllers.
For a point of comparison, Sony's upcoming PlayStation 4 console —
which at a starting price of $399.99 will debut for $100 less than the
Xbox One — comes bundled with an earbud-style headset but will only
offer its motion-controlled camera peripheral, the imaginatively named
PlayStation Camera, for an extra $59.99. Unlike the Xbox One's Kinect
hardware, the PlayStation Camera is not a mandatory feature for the
PlayStation 4 console. Additional PS4 controllers also cost $59.99,
and the console is not backwards compatible with older versions of the
PlayStation DualShock controller.
Regardless of whether or not a headset is contained in the starting
console package, however, that most serious gamers will likely look to
make a heftier investment in a high-end gaming headset like those
offered by Turtle Beach, Tritton, or Astro if they're actually
planning to use either console's chat capabilities for actual gameplay
purposes. Both Sony and Microsoft have been vague on whether or not
gamers will be able to use their current headsets, which can run
upwards of $200 for the best models, on the next-gen hardware.
