That's a weird way of looking at it. MS can't sell their stock and so have to drop the price. Sony CAN sell their stock and so continue to make profit. And I now believe Sony will win July.

What is price of PS3 and 360 on Amazon? XB1 seems to be very close or the same price... Which is ridiculous in many ways.

I was going to say the same thing. MS are dropping their price because they are desperate. Sony aren't desperate and they won't rush into any decision because they might lose a few NPDs. Pricecuts are part of a long term strategy.

Desperate for what? They are clearing out remaining stock for the S.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Shhhh, Xbox One S is dead on arrival because of Scorpio.

It makes you wonder by just how many did MS stuff the retail channels? The things that MS are doing right now are devaluing the console market, making it a market of 'bargains' and 'pricedrops' as well as 'wait and see' (Scorpio next year).

I think that people don't know the word "lazy" here on this site. Microsoft is sending all their games for the PC, killing future sales, they also should not have announced Scorpio 18 months from release. And only because make several price drops this is trying hard to sell their product ? Only because a company is in dispair this does not means that the Market Leader need to sell their console for less than a PS2.

Microsoft should have stayed like Nintendo, selling the console at a higher profit margin. What is the deal to push Xbox One's sales when you will focus on Slim and Scorpio ?.

 

If Xbox One continue droping the price, there will be no lower price left for the next year.
