Well... what do you think guys? 6 months after the prediction yet holds true?


The lol's from reading the whole thread. 

But your prediction still holds true, $350 is still the magic number.

Undercutting is always the easiest way to increase sales over your competition. But I think it's too soon for another price cut.

If MS cuts the price that low, they're going to start losing money on each console sold, with no guarantee that software sales will pick up enough to make it a profitable decision.

Why on earth would they do that? Just to be "competitive"? (not sure what this implies by the way).

Microsoft's goal (as well as Sony) is to make money. What you are saying is that to be "competitive" they would need to lose money and piss off the investors? I do not get the logic.

They do not need to sell as well as the PS4 to be successful. Now if by competitive you mean that, I guess a 150$ price cut would help but at what cost and just for bragging rights?.



I always wonder if people think before they start saying things. So according to you, WiiU should be sold for 50$ if xbox one is to be sold for 200$ if we take it by hardware/price ratio. Cause then again if we add the high quality exclusives then the Xbox should be the most expensive cause software should drive sales. Not just hardware itself. And i mean the console OS+Games. Which will prove itself ofc later in case it hasnt shown any signs to some people yet with how flexible it is. Thankfully MS isn't the new kid around the block when it comes to software.

If anything i am greatful to all buying a PS4 cause we get so much attention owning an Xbox :) They should and will keep it this way. Might drop a 50$ from the price in a few months.



No, Xbone needs to cost 299USD/EUR to be competitive. At 399 PS4 still manages to do 540k and Xbone 282k in US(think about the situation in Europe and elsewhere), and most of the PS4 consoles were sold at 449 with Destiny while Microsoft gave it away for free as part of the promotion.

So Xbone 299 dollars and it will start damaging PS4 I expect.

You guy have all the mannerisms of a narcisistic personality.

Why do you insists that hard in pointless assuptions and opinion that no one cares about?

If your predictions were any good you should be making money out of them. Not losing your time here or Neogaf (where you desperatly try to spred your FDU for atention and failing miserably).

You are missing the point month after month for no avail.

I'm trying to understand what you wrote right now... maybe there are some confusion.

This thread is old... old like before Second Coming (aka Titanfall). I predicted the Xbone to be competivie again needed a $150 price cut to reach the magical price point of $350.

MS is trying to reach that but my prediction was about the full Xbone package... in easy words "with Kinect"... so the Kinect Xbone needs to be priced at $350 to start to have a better cost & beneficies than PS4.

But the Kinectless at $350 won't do nothing... it will sell at low rate yet... for the Kinectless it needs to reach $300 or maybe even $250.

It didn´t hurt at the time and don´t hurt now or any time you revive it again.

You don´t get boring at repeating yourself again and again. And is now recicling your old threads as if anything has shown to prove your point.

You massage the numbers and interpretation to fit your agenda. You can´t even define what is competitive.
