Fixed. Unlike Nintendo and Sony, all of it's first party games are multiplat if you throw windows 10 in (leave the negativity of the OS in another thread)

Ha, you talk as if the Wii U hasn't been dead for ages already!

Nah, what would be idiotic is lowering the price since all that would do is lose them money.

Touché

Who cares, it's been $300 many times. Even the PS4 uncharted bundle was $299 during Winter months.

Yep stores are doing so many deals to get rid of stock, that the "new" 299$ price point wont do anything at all sales wise.

Despite all that, the XBO still continues to sell reasonably well. They often have deals anyways so it's not like there's no incentive to buy one.

Especially when it's likely we'll see a $300 PS4 in June.

I think given their position at this point, they should try to reduce the price point so they can get rid of their stock and recover something of what they have invested rather than not selling anything at all and losing that potential money.

So I guess people have different definitions of idiot it seems. 

Lol I don't think I've ever seen a comsole get discounted this much over its first 2+ years.  Maybe the dreamcast but as we all know that was never sustainable.  

So is this permanent?  I guess "limited time only" cuts to 249 will be the new thing for the next 18 months.  

Have to say though,  MS getting so low puts pressure on Nintendo.  Especially when Sony can easily go lower too.
