Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Pachter hints at 'exciting' holiday promotion for X1, says potential buyers should wait

I would think an analyst would have to be impartial.

Doesn't actions like this put his integrity and job on the line?

Judges must be impartial, analystis must be right, but that also aint one of Patcher's abilities.

Well he is making himself popular, people are retweeting/talking about him on messageboard, sites/magazines/devs/big companies will pick up that he still means something in the industry and would try to approach him...So also with doing this he also stays having a job...

And the game of Limbo continues, how low can they go?

Honestly, aren't they risking devaluing the brand? At this point, anyone with a brain is probably thinking "hmmm, there's a new price cut/promotion every month, might as well wait till it's cheaper next month".

At this rate, I expect a $200 X1 by the end of next year and I see no reason why someone would jump in now. Might as well just wait.

No Xbox One SKU has received a price cut since launch in the USA.

Cool story though!

Halo Collection Bundle for $399. Some of these replies are just plain silly.

That is just what they have now... for Black Friday it is not a deal.

$350 + MCC + Free game is.

 

Why not make it $299 + MCC?

Not sure people would keep paying for his analysis even if they are faulty just because he get hits on sites... altought some people (me included) think the real analysis and trends he do is quite valuable for bussinessmen, just this "free" speechs were he just want publicity is almost always aimed to get some reaction.

You mean official pricecut right?

Because they had a 450 TF bundle with FM5 in several stores, even on MS one. And all this free games promotions and whatsonot is soft cutting and you know it.

Lets be clear. There have been intermittent retailer deals, and some bundling - both of which Sony already does.

The poster I responded too wrote "At this rate, I expect a $200 X1 by the end of next year " and yet its my post you take issue with?
