The most expensive things in the XB1 are the APU (110 according to IHS) followed by the Kinect (75 according to IHS) since both are "mandatory", they're isn't much they can do, with the exception of reducing manufacturing costs which would take a lot longer than fall. Removing the disc drive, would piss of retailers, but they would make a lot of money from software. Reducing the drive size, could work but the backlash would definetly be noticable. Honestly, if they cut this year, I doubt it would be because they're manfacturing it for less, and that they just are taking a loss to increase userbase. |
I still think they will cut cost even if they are taken some loses. This will be made up in XBox Live accounts and people buying games. I think it's worth the market share of the future. Thats where they will make their money anyway and PS4 has no reason to drop price for a long time, nor will they.
