Technically, the consumer would still be buying a slightly lower spec console, but that's not as important as the library of titles, particularly the exclusives. It's a bit ridiculous to think that MS would have to resort to dumping the XB1 at $350 to make it competitive. Maybe to Playstation brand fans who want to pick up one on the cheap as a secondary console, but if consumers are only choosing one without any sort of brand favoritism, a $399 MSRP will simply have them comparing platform exclusives and features. Value-wise they would be perceived very equally. |
This is true if MS didn't damaged the brand and the console was launched with price parity.
Now they need to be cheaper to sell close to PS4.
