When do you think the next price cut will happen for the X1?

The only thing that makes me wonder is September NPD though. That will be announced mid-October, and I fully expect a 3:1 loss for XB1 in the US to be within reach. Anything less than 2:1 would be stunning.

The whole 'Get A Free Game When You Buy An Xbox One!' thing might help them, and in fact I can't help but think they're DOING the promotion specifically to boost sales so they don't look so badly wrecked come the NPD. (I mean, Jesus, apparently it even applies to the Madden bundles, so you can get Madden for free AND the other free game as well. o.o ) Even if the deal doesn't turn many brand new users, it MIGHT convince people who were already planning to get one sometime between October to December to hop aboard early, basically moving future sales to the present month and creating a 'bulge' in September. Doubt it'll help them win the NPD, or even get close, but it might keep the loss from being TOO much of an obliteration. xP

I can see more than a few Sunset Overdrive bundles getting cancelled, for one thing, as people who were planning to wait for that release could see the sense in switching over if they have the slightest intentions of EVER picking up Madden. xP

Also can't help but wonder how irritated the folks who bought the Madden bundle before the news dropped must be. =P
