I think it is possible Xbox sales could double or even triple because of this.


so from 2 to 6? xD


Correct, except your numbers are way too low. Xbox already got over triple or +200% bump this week on Media Create. I don't know what caused it, was there a promotion or maybe it was just Forza 6 releasing. Anyways Xbox has been selling in the low 3-digit range and who knows when the pricedrop happens Xbox could even climb back to 4-digits momentarily.



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

"timed" again?
It won't work in Japan, though.

Even less that the PS4 price cut was announced earlier, is official and not timed and it's way, way more relevant there.
Not to say in the very same day as the PS4.

It's timed too? What the flying fulton extraction failure are MS thinking of?


They are trying the same strategy they done in USA

X1's a lost cause in Japan Microsoft, there's no point on keeping on trying.

Maybe the xbox one might sell more than 3k in japan when the price goes live. Its good to see they havent given up in japan.

I disagree they have to please tho 50k japanese xbox gamers, by not trying they will lose what little respect they have there. They shuldnt quit until the fat lady sings.

It's a bit dishonest. And a bit insulting to Japanese consumers considering everyone should know what they are planning to do.
