So only one price-drop allowed per year? Hahaha. And also it didn't have a price drop. Only kinect got removed. So Xbone can still do it.

I think it would do more harm than good for Microsoft to reduce the price of Xbox One twice within a few month period. It would really hurt consumer confidence in the product. Going from $500 in November to $400 in June to $300-350 in the fall would give Xbox One a lot of negative press by making it seem like Microsoft doesnt have faith in the product and would really make it seem like an inferior product to PS4 and early adopters would probably be pretty pissed and potential buyers would think if they just wait a few more months then a 3rd price reduction to occur.

Im going to go ahead and say there is no chance of an official pricecut happening this year, most likely we will see some nice bundles and holiday deals from retailers.

Again, there was no real price-cut. MS just made Kinect optional.

The lowest official price of Xbox One pre-June was $500, the lowest official price of Xbox One is now $400, it doesnt matter if its a real or fake price cut, the fact of the matter is that Microsoft reduced the price which is what I said in my previous post.
