I don't think XBOX ONE is DOOMED. I just think they need a new statagy and the balls to do it and I think they will. First off though the last statagy was horrible. They should have bundled a game with the $399 kinectless sku. They had better deals with the titanfall bundle then that last sku. They just need to go for broke and I think they can pull it off because sony can't afford to go another 7 years in the red like the 100 billion they lost. This holiday XBOX ONE needs a price cut and not a "fake" one like this last time. $299 kinectless sku with a game and a $399 kinect sku with a game and 2 controllers. They made 8 billion last year they can afford to lose a bit on the console and make it up in software. The $299 sku they lose aprox $60-70 a sku and $100 for the $399 one. Say they sell 3 million this holiday half of each. $250 million dollar loss on console but they make back almost half right away if software sales and momentum will swing to Xb1. The only thing that might put a little damper on this though is Nintendo will undoughtably price cut the Wii U too. But knowing there stuberness they only drop it to $249 with a game, but if they drop it to $199 with a game or a new 500gb sku for $249, then they be in trouble. After the holidays we should have a better idea. |
