Forums - Sales Discussion - I Believe Xbox One Needs A Mininum $150 Pricecut To Be Competitive Again (I Eat That Crow)

Yes, making it cheaper then PS4 would be the only way to possibly match it sales.

not gonna happen though.

not worth all the money they'd be throwing away to gain parity in sales.

^Yes that's me ripping it up in the GIF. :)

I agree. The only way to do it though without taking massive loses is to get rid of the kinect.

Honestly a $50 price cut with a pack in game would do the system wonders without hurting the brand in the long run. And for those talking about a Ps4 price cut, dream on.



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

i agree on that at least 120 though its gotta be cheaper than ps4 to win global weeks like the 360 did last gen but a equal price would make it sell on par or above in us and uk not anywhere else though

I agree with this.  Dollar value match to PS4 is all it really needs.  The $50 price drop and a game would make it cost the same as PS4.  The demand that the PS4 sees today are mostly early adopeters which put a lot more value into the specs.  The people buying after the first 6 months are the casuals.  They care a lot less about the minor changes in resolution, if the gameplay is good.

That's why I expect the US to see a price drop at the end of April or sometime in May.  They will pack in the Kinect Sports Rivals and claim a parity in cost.

As far as dropping Kinect in 2014, NO WAY.  If all of the pack ins and advertising promos with retailers fail this year, they will have to drop Kinect in April or May of 2015.



It is near the end of the end....

Toss that Kinect in the garbage, cut that baby to 350 and watch Xbone's fly off the shelf.

Why would you say that?  PS4 is 100% going to get a price cut next year.  Probably by $50.  And if the One's pricecut this year actually does something, they may drop by $20-$30 this year.

Supply and demand dictate otherwise. Though I was speaking mostly for this year, I'm sure a price drop for 2015 will happen sooner or later. I'm betting on the later end of the spectrum.
