I'm sorry, but I really don't see how a continuation of the same discount we've seen for weeks now, that was already quite reasonable in the first instance, can be interpreted as 'getting more and more desperate.' |
Desperate can come across much harsher than it needs to be, but I agree with his point. Less then a month ago the system was $500 with no bundled content. Upon Titanfall's release it became $500 with a game. About a week after that it became $450 with a game. Now this time it's $450 with a game and a year of GOLD. Cutting out the cost of bundled items, in the US the XBONE has gone $500, $440, $390, and now $330. That averages to about a $40 drop every week. It's also a 34% drop, which is bigger and sooner than the 3DS's first year reduction. This move is great for gamers and probably the correct thing for Microsoft to do, but it's a desperate move.
