MS sell it for 200$ less than they did and 100$ less than they are now? I'm pretty sure they want to win shareholders over with the xbox brand not give them the final straw that makes them say, yep get rid of it. 

I also think it's unfair to just say the 360 with a cheaper price and early release is the only reason the 360 did well. In that case the Wii U should be doing much better. The fact is the 360 was a very good machine and people liked it. If it wasn't very good it could never do well. No matter how much SOny messed up. 

Edit: I just realized that we're talking about this on a thread with nothing to do with this. I forgot how we even got here. Back to topic please! COD is Sony's once again! 

Why do Sony fans keep mentioning the shareholders? MS clearly doesn't make all their decisions based solely on what some shareholders want. Anyhow, the larger market share means greater potential profits from software, Gold memberships, etc.

I'm not saying the price is the only reason 360 did well. It was just a huge reason.

Wii U is struggling because the tablet control isn't appealing and casual audiences aren't buying next gen consoles.

If CoD is Sony's then it would be an exclusive.

I clearly didn't mean COD is Sony's like that. I meant it does most of it's sales on playstation now so the COD community on PS is bigger than it on Xbox. That's all so don't imply I meant anything esle. Couldn't think of a better way to world it. 

As for the shareholders. They were happy as it is so do you think MS selling the same hardware at 200$ less wouldn't cause a riot? 

If it was 200$ less you could prob say they'd sell a good 80m and that number of consoles x 200$ is 14 billion. Honeslty your suggestion of them selling it much cheaper is daft and nop company run by shareholders in their right mind would allow it. The hardware would need to be 200$ cheaper to build so that would mean it would have the power of the PS3/360. SO yeah I don't think your suggestion was viable.
