why would they price drop so soon?!1 xbox is beasting in the US!!!

The X1 makes $40 per console? Can you give a source for that?

And rumours have it that MS won't release in new countries before April.

Also a price cut in march would be the biggest "fuck you" to early adopters that I can imagine.

X1 is selling well in N. America, Europe is the problem here.

Far, far too soon. Sends a really crap message if they cut the price after less than 4 months.

PS3 was 8 months; 3DS 6 months I believe. Looking at those kind of timescales if they were serious about doing it soon.

I think they should wait a good time after Titanfall release to not send a message to the early buyers that they spent too much for the system.

Nope, not a chance.

It cost MS $471 to make the Xbox One. A $100 price drop would put them in a huge hole and would certainly piss off anyone who bought an Xbox One before the price drop. It would be really difficult to justify a price drop this early especially when they no idea what it would do to market share.

Dropping the price would only cause more financial damage to a division that the investors already want sold.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

The don't make a dime on the One. Just like Sony doesn't make anything off of the PS4. 

It's costs them $471 to make and that doesn't include getting the console into stores and the retailers cut. with a $100 price cut they would probably be losing something like $125 per console.

Like I thought, seriously why do people just make up things like that and expect others to not call them out on it?
