Post NPD fallout: The central question imo is if a X1 that was cheaper than PS4 would outsell PS4

That's it. Xbox One could drop to 399 or even 349 provided they're willing to drop Kinect, which I'm betting MS suits are getting ready to do right now (probably at E3 orf course) in view of weak sales.

 

So lets say a $349, no Kinect, Xbox One existed. The question is, could it outsell PS4? Just in North America/UK or worldwide? Or is the most powerful hardware impossible to overcome? Would people still prefer the $399 PS4 for more 1080P games?

 

I think that's the question MS has to be scared of, if the answer is no. Then, like Wii U, they truly are trapped.

The Xbone was at 399 for most of March due to unofficial pricecuts and promotions. The avg Xbone price last month was between 399-449 depending on the time and retailer you went, and with the crazy advertisement Titanfall got: PS4 still won  by 60k.

 

349k might help but I'm not sure MS already wants to cut the price by 150 bucks only a few months after launch.

Xbox One was 399 for less than 30 minutes due to an error on Amazon US while people were asleep. Not an average. And if you mean X1+ Titanfall then the Xbox would be 389.

More like 5 hours http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/25/xbox-one-forza-bundle-price-drops-to-399-on-amazon-with-discoun/

And 399 for Titanfall bundle on the MS store http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/microsoft-selling-xbox-titanfall-bundle-399/

 

Effectively making it 349 solus already
