At the current rate X1 is dead on arrival. People on the main xbox forums said the will refuse to buy it depending on used game sales policy/once a day online etc.

And someone said there was a leaked AUS price of 899 which means somewhat 860 USD? Yeah okay buddy.

X1 wont be dead on arrival. Also the price is insanly high. Many people may be complaining at the moment but it really comes down to your friends. That will certainly have a chain reaction. You have to take in mind that alot of people have invested alot of money and time into the profile they have created. This is not something you can discard so easely. People get attached. It might not sell fast but saying Dead on arrival? I dont think so.  AUS  and US dollar are a diffrent lol. 899 AUS doesnt mean 860 USD.  Thats not how the pricing works in AUS.


You're right about the pricing. It's not a simple currency exchange. But yeah if you and your friends are all talking about how they can't trade games between each other then it's dead on arrival. People will happily startover their profiles on PSN if they could lend/borrow games. This is the main console market. children/adolescents/adults who are still in school/uni who interact in person with friends and who'd want to borrow/lend. If MS tries to break this culture, you bet it's DOA.
