All Xbox One console $50 off for "a limited time"

http://majornelson.com/2016/03/18/spring-sale-xbox-one-starting-at-299-and-a-week-of-game-deals/

I wonder how long "a limited time" is. I also wonder what effect this will have on sales since it's official. It almost certainly won't net them the win for this month. As we saw last year the PS4 was still the overall winner for the first three quarters of the year despite the $50 higher price point, plus the PS4 is currently experiencing a boost to sales due to this past October's price cut. Assuming the PS4 gets the same YoY boost as Jan. & Feb. it should sell around 400k this month, meaning the XBO would have to experience an over 70% YoY boost to match the PS4, which is well beyond the norm for any price cut. At best, I think the XBO might see a 25-30% increase, putting it in the neighborhood of 300k. Of course, unofficial price cuts run by Amazon don't seem to have done much, so an official price cut running after tax season is over and long before the holidays might not have a big effect.

Couple of months, then about a week before GoW4 they'll drop back to $350 and then the same day as GoW4 releases they'll go to $300 permanently. That's my predicton.



I wonder if the rumor of a PS4.5 will have any effect on sales, did the sales of the x1 dip down after Spencer talked about upgradable xboxs and games going to PC?

We don't really know, as the talk wasn't published until March 1st.

We don't know if this has affected Xbox's Sales, they don't release numbers, and we still don't have NPD yet, he Announced this on March 1, only on April, we will see some concret results.

While the Playstation 4's Upgrade is just a Rumor, the Xbox One's Upgrade is a Official Announcement, so this must have more impact on Sales, and i really hope that those kind of Upgradable PS4, is just a Rumor, and not true, and if is true, i hope both PS4, and Xbox One, Struggle on Sales, and something with a Non-upgradable System, became the Market Leader.

To be fair, that Quantum Break bundle should do well at $299, even though I think it will be more because of the white console than Quantum Break itself.
