They're not dropping the price in time for launch

We'll see. I predicted they would drop the price and roll back the always online back in June back when everyone was saying they couldn't do either, and they at the very least ended up doing the later.

Short term business aside, if Microsoft doesn't cut the price before launch, it's dead. Really that simple.

For my family and friends getting the XBOX One the price is not a factor at all and not even in the discussions.  If we want the XBOX One or PS4 we just make it happen with little concern for the price difference.

Some people will buy no matter the price, and some people will buy depending on the price. Your family isn't a new trend, this has been the norm for every single console generation ever.

They don't drop prices for people like you, they drop price for the less hardcore majority that buy sometimes on price alone.
