Looking at the sales trends, even after E3, Sony winning this month is much more probable than Microsoft. Microsoft not advertising their price drop at E3 was a bad idea.

That was strategic PR, is kinda why there isn't also a big marketing push that somehow goes with these kinda price drops. Its a stealth major price drop it seems. I think they don't want people somehow going, "what? didn't ust come out last year and they are already dropping the price?"

So, they are handling less like a price drop and just more like the introduction of a new cheaper SKU. 

That's a pretty bad excuse for not announcing it. Such a major price drop at E3 would give great publicity. Can you imgaine the applause they would have gotten for such an announcement? 

If they really cared so much about image, they wouldn't have removed the Kinect in the first place.

So close to launch price drops are negative publicity rather than positive. I know there's the sayiing no such thing as bad publicity. But I'm sure a lot of early XB1 adopters (particularly who didn't want Kinect) aren't too pleased.

That said, they're really heavily advertising the price drop to £349.99 in the UK. I've seen it on prime time TV here.
