so it would have been better for them to take a loss? and didnt listen fans? but sales? LOL really? how are they different? |
Fans/Consumers have the right to free speech, at least in the US, so that means they can complain about and "beg" for whatever they want, using their money as their voting power. However, Fans/Consumers are rarely if ever certain of what they want and if there is outrage against something in the market its rarely if ever wholy bad.
MS claimed that Kinect was Xbox, but when people actually had to choose whether or not they would buy it, the fact that the majority attributed the price gap with the Kinect means that MS had failed to establish the value proposition correctly.
The fact that the Kinect is mandatory till June 9th, means that from this date till release MS has established that Kinect Base > XB1 base.
If they truly believed in its potential they would take the loss and maintain a Kinect Base > XB1 base, and at price parity with the PS4, the Kinect isn't the target of the price gap.
Seeing as the WW gap is 3million, they would lose 300 million to catch up with the PS4, a loss that can easily be made up in the sale of 3 retail games.
There is a difference between hearing and listening(understanding).
