Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Who Else Thinks a Xbox One Price Cut is coming in March??

Why would they make a price cut and release Titanfall at the same time. I thought Titanfall was going to be enough?

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.


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?

Because they sometimes get away with it. 



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.

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.


Yes this.

My first thoughts as well.



Too soon. The last thing anyone involved with XBox wants right now is for it to start bleeding money. It's going to come, but not until fall and possibly with some element of repackaging, perhaps without Kinect.

The best move for them would be to sell an unbundle version of the Xbox one, but then it would make the bundle version look pretty useless so many drop that to $450.

Ain't that the truth. Kinect is the One's biggest problem by far, it's almost the only problem at that.



me me me!

$250 will be awesome

I do not like the X1 because it is inferior to PS4, but I think together with a price cut and the Rare Kinect Sports game, they could win the mass market and the console war this generation.
