So anytime now?

Hmm...let's see.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

surprised they did this so quickly, thought it would take another year or so, but if it's going to happen it's better to do it sooner rather than later. Sucks for early adopters but that's always the case with price cuts, you should know what you're getting into if you buy a console on launch or shortly after.

Im preparing for people who said MS needs to ditch the Kinect to bash them for making a Kinect-less bundle.

It is a great piece of technology but there's just no software besides the Xbox One UI and apps. Good to know they realized that


Are we to assume that your equally waiting for those that said they would never ditch it, to say how its such a great thing to do now and how they saw it coming all along. 

 

Its a good thing, its pro consumer choice, and hopefylly we will see competitive pricing now. 



Well there you are. It's about time they gave that option!

I'm not. 



Since the beginning, we have focused on delivering great games and entertainment experiences for you. Your feedback matters to us and it shapes the products and services we build. Your feedback showed up in the Xbox One console we launched back in November and in the monthly updates we’ve delivered since.

Today, we’re excited to share more ways your feedback is impacting the products we build.

First, beginning on June 9th, in all markets where Xbox One is sold, we will offer Xbox One starting at $399*. This is a new console option that does not include Kinect. For $399, our new Xbox One offering will continue to deliver access to the best blockbuster games like “Titanfall,” “Call of Duty: Ghosts,” “Forza Motorsport 5,” “Dead Rising 3,” and the upcoming “Watch Dogs,” “Destiny” and "Sunset Overdrive." You will also be able to access popular entertainment apps, such as Twitch, YouTube, and Netflix, as well as watch live TV and use OneGuide. Finally, you will continue to be able to use many of the unique features of Xbox One including the ability to get game invites while you watch TV, switch between games and entertainment apps, enjoy Twitch broadcasts, and upload your favorite gaming moments.



Sad...

Microsoft is bowing dawn to the bragring rights of console wars.

XOne is dead to me now. I knew Phill Spencer wasn´t a good idea when NeoGaf praised his name as the savior.

Early adaptors are always at huge risk, this really shouldn't suprise anyone.

Good news for gamers. Nice to see companies respond to gamers and not just do things by decree.
