United Kingdom retailer Maplin has cut the price of the Xbox One to £349.99--the same price as Sony's PlayStation 4, GameSpot.com reports, and next-generation console gamers certainly had a lot to say about both system's graphics specs, sales and price.

"Some of the features I find appealing in the Xbox One...a game machine that says its next gen but still uses last gen graphics and charges me a whole lot of money for it," one gamer satirically responded on the site.

"No qualms with that and many will have switched because. But many are unaware of what's under the hood. They don't visit gaming sites so dont compare the details difference of graphics. What really killed ms recently is the price and shockingly awful pr campaign. They made sonys job so easy," another gamer commented.

Microsoft Game Studios head Phil Spencer said Microsoft is "extremely committed" to the Xbox One, Polygon reports, leaving many fans wondering if the next-generation console will get sales, specs and graphics boosts in the future.

"Xbox is a really critical brand for us as a company as Microsoft; when you think about consumers, what they love about our company, Xbox is one of the most beloved brands that the company has," he said, according to the site.

"We're in the middle of a good, competitive battle in the console space with PlayStation, which is great for the industry. And they remain extremely committed to us succeeding with Xbox, which is nice to hear, right? It's something that resonates well inside the walls when you're talking to the teams, or when I stand in front of Xbox fans, I want to make sure that they understand we are extremely committed to this product."
