you know what is funny about this thread and this gen in general? The complete reversal of last gen.
Last gen, you had sony fans talking about future price cuts that would push the ps3 into first place or at least past the 360 and then you had MS fans downplaying the effect of price cuts.... and now everything is backwards  |
The only difference is price cuts did help the PS3. Of course, they only removed BC lower the cost at first, not take away the ability to play retail games. Now, if it's true that MS is going to remove the Bluray drive to match the PS4's price, they are going to be in for a shock if they actually think that will help them. Discs are still where the VAST majority of game sales are coming from, especially for consoles. MS is just going to confuse the everyday customer, and piss off the core gamer, who would rather them drop Kinect. Not to mention that this will just bring up the whole DRM fiasco again, though not to the extent it reached in 2013.

how is that a difference? unless you have traveled into the future and witnessed that the xbox one price cuts didn't have an affect... if that were the case I could see how you could make that argument.

Lol, you honestly think that a Bluray-less One is going to make much of a difference? If so, you don't know the market very well. Remember the DRM fiasco? People upset that they wouldn't be able to trade/purchase used games? And the low preorders that made MS have to pull a 180? That's how much impact on sales a driveless One will have.

no, all I'm talking about is strictly price cuts. I don't for a second actually believe Microsoft would release a blu-ray less xbox one. I do however believe that they would cut the price by a hundred bucks. It is much more likely Microsoft would remove kinect than the blu ray player.
