I say this now the 1.000.000 times and I do it one more just because you made this new thread!!! It's not about the price, it's about the GAMES!!!

come on, X1 dropped with Forza MS arguably 3rd biggest franchise also DR ryse it got K Sports rivals and Titanfall.

PS3 well Killzone Da Knackr and Infamous.  

Games really cant be the reason, Its the only facet where it more then holds its own.

Actually it's about the bad press in its early days but go on preaching.

You are right ;) This does not help the Xbox One in any way, but besides the press, brand names, and images and everything else, GAMES is the most important thing to convince consumer to buy a console ;)

So for what are you purchasing a console then??? Microsoft fans are just waiting for the right games like Halo or Gears of War ;)

ms sony ninty fans buy it before any big games are out.  thats why they are fans.

Maybe you mean HAlo Gears fans are holding of, but same can be said for fans of Gran Turismo Uncharted TheLAstofUS GofofWar LittleBigplanet whatnot.  Sonys library outstrips MSs, thus based on your reasoning more fans are waiting for "their"  PS4 then ones waiitng on X1.

If that were true PS4 wouldn't be doing nearly as well as it is now.

Dropping the price any further would be financial suicide. All they can do now is release MCC and hope for the best.


but ms has billlions upon billions, they can buy sony and nintendo.  Clealry they should and will throw billions at the issue, becasue they can they will.  right.  

And seriosuly. X1 has not gotten a real cut, that was a cut while cutting out features and hardware.  


Microsoft isn't a charity and the Xbox division needs to start making back the billions of dollars it has lost its parent company. I can not fathom why investors are so patient with the dead weight and that's exactly what the Xbox division is from a business perspective. Microsoft has to be careful how they handle this situation because simply throwing good money after bad may accomplish nothing while inflating an already terrible investment.

tl/dr

Microsoft been throwing billions at the Xbox brand for over a decade already, don't expect this behavious to continue forever.



I don't know if it would make a difference, it just might. It will in the very least improve overall sales and put the XB1 at a new higher baseline. Not sure it will start outselling the PS4.

Which is kinda sad cause if dropping price doesn't threaten PS4s performance then sony has no reason to drop the price of the PS4 if it keeps selling like it is now. They could very well ride then next two years before announcing a price drop.

Nay. They should cut to $300 to better compete with the Wii U, since PS4 already has first place locked IMO.


look at the numbers in the title again dude. 

 

@OP: as far as a 299$ XB1. it would make a big difference IMO. see, the PS2 was released before the gamecube and before the xbox. it gained a lot of traction and became the go to console. PS4 isnt in the same position as the PS2 was, so it might start to lose market share to the XB1 because people can still play CoD, GTA, fifa on it too. 

if MS do have another 100$ price cut, i am pretty certain Sony will respond with atleast a 50$ price cut too. 

I wanna see it happen just in case the PS4 still buries it, and then we can ressurect that thread again lol.

First because MS is doing great despite it. Second because Xbox furthers Microsoft's brand. If they cut off the Xbox division they will see lower revenues in other branches as well.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I know you must be right in a perfect world, but people are crazy about the PlayStation right now because of a hype that is not normal. But I am sure that alot of PlayStation Fans are not happy with their purchase because of the lack of good games right now! The PlayStation 4 is much overhyped right now and does not deserve the great sales!!!
