I know that they said the price cut will end on January 3rd. I just think that they'll announce something like 10+ million consoles sold and that they want to give their consumers the best value so that the $350 is permenant. If it does go back to $400, Xbox One sales will plummet.

you do relize they are losing a lot of money on each xbox one ac bundle so right?

I sometimes wonder when microsoft said it themseles its limited time only

ends on january 3

but some people have hope for it to stay at $350 console with 2 damn games(that puts an xbox one at $270 1 years into its lifecycle when it cost $380 to make(kinect xbox one cost 480 and kinects about $100)

they are losing almost $100 on every ac xbox one bundle(the only one people are pretty much buying) in the US

C'mon they didn't even specify which parallel universe they're talking about.

And why would they hurt much if they keep it? They would only sell a tiny fraction of consoles in the first half of 2015 of what they sold in Nov-Dec. So it's another tiny dent in profits to that giant dent from the holidays.

Is there a rule that says they can't just sell an Xbox without the bundled games? If they do keep the price at $350, I expect it to be without any games.

It being $100 less than last year means this prediction won't happen.

I honestly think 2014 is exactly what will happen just about everywhere from here on out. X1 will sell absolutely terribly compared to the PS4 throughout the year, and then outsell it in the US/UK in November/December.

In fact next year will exaggerate this a ton with PS4's early exclusives and Xbox getting a new Halo at the end of the year.

Lol. Well, you know people.

Hooray for inside jokes :)

If it keeps the price, I doubt it. Also consider that there are much better multiplatforms out for the first half of next year (Witcher 3, Batman Arkham Knight, etc).
