lawl, Launch-buyers are fucked and I guess very pissed, if that happens.


why?

I'm happy as a pig in shit and love my kinect enabled xbox.


You really dont see the reason why some early adopters would be pissed?

No, I do not see why any early adopter would be pissed.  Its the reason you are a early adopter.  For people that purchased a X1, with the knowledge that sales were not that great, why would you be pissed.  If you did not have the patience to wait then the only only person to be pissed at is yourself.

 


Oh come on
PS4 early adopters don't get the finger and no one could have thought the Xbox One would turn out the way it did.
People bought the X1 for whatever the reason with the believe they had in the 360 and got an inferior product which was more expensive.Only half a year later you get the option to save money on the console officially(the X1 is available for 400+tons of games anyway) cause they exclude the unwanted Kinect and the future of gaming(lol) which the whole console was built around.

This won't make people happy.
And if they reduce the price they should have dropped down to 300-350$ - You still get inferior versions of every game.

Where are people getting screwed if you purchased the X1 with kinnect.  If you did not want the console with Kinect why would you purchase it in the first place.  Almost a year later people get another option and there is cause for getting upset.  So when Christmas role around and there will be bundles and other incentive to purchase a console people will be upset about that.  People were suppose to be upset about the temporary Titanfall bundle and price cut as well.  Basically what you are saying is that anytime something happens after you purchase your highend device you should get upset.

@Bold:  Not sure why MS would do something like that.  DId Sony do the same thing when the PS3 was getting inferior 3rd party games.  Why would a business even think like that but then again no busines would.

You can be damned sure Sony would have undercut Microsoft during the worst PS3 years if they hadn't had such insane BoM costs.

And yes, XB1 should be $349 with a game to jump-start competition. $449 with both Kinect and a free AAA game wasn't enough to get things going, what makes people think $399 with no kinect and no game is going to be earth-shattering? It gets even worse when you consider that for many months towards the end of the year, it's nothing but multiplats which will be better on PS4. Rinse/repeat.

Still, Phil shows he has actual balls and ears, so I wouldn't rule out MEGATON news in November unless the NPDs really turn around dramatically. $299 with a game! That would blow people's actual minds.
