But really, who are we kidding with that graph. Microsoft has been aggressive, but that graph would mean a $0 XBO in March 2017. I mean, I guess if they bundled $200 worth of games and Xbox Live with a $200 system, it'd technically be like getting a free system :P

Well, that graph doesn't take into account the reduction in price cuts over time. Eg.  If after 12 months prices are cut by $100, it doesn't mean that after another 12 months you will see another $100 cut. the next cut may be $50 and the next one $30....etc.

Having said that, if next year is anything like this one, I expect to see XB1 at $200-$250 by BF 2016. And the PS4 always like $30- $50 more. Actually, I expect that the PS4 will be down to $299 by august next year. And XB1 will be at $250 with a free game (Halo 5) around this time next year.

Isn't that $350 only a temporary holiday cut? If so, we aren't even there yet. Either way, I doubt we'd be seeing $200 X1s anytime soon. 

Oh come on they are going to keep that price.  By the end of 2015 I am sure there will be a $300 X1 as well, and maybe even a stripped down "Arcade" version for $250.

If this is anything to go by, I wouldn't be so sure.

What exactly?  Them saying it's temporary for the holidays doesn't mean a thing.  It's typical salesmanship.

They'll have it go back to $399 for a short time so it doesn't look like they made it up, sales will tank, then they'll announce the permanent $349 price.

i would have said the same about $350 but here we are.

I know they say it is temporary, but frankly I just don't believe them.  Not only are they selling it for $350, but some bundles are coming with 2 free games as well.  In fact I bet it will be $300 by E3.

I also believe that MS will keep the 50 dollar cut based on November and December sales.  As for the Bundles those are definitely just market share moves to move consoles for the Holiday period.  We probably will not see those deals again unitl next holiday period.
