I'm having a tough time remembering the M$ price cuts. Can you remind me? |
I don't know about in the US, but in the UK it's had 3. It was launched at £429, was then cut to £399 (with TF being given away for free), then they released the Kinectless version for £349, and then about a month ago they cut it again to £329. The last price cut put it under the PS4's price.
The removal of Kinect isn't a traditional price cut, but i'd say it's worth listing with the others. A lot of people (such as myself) didn't want a Kinect, so to them it's functionally a price cut (which was MS's intention of removing Kinect).
Sony haven't yet made an official price cut, but i do expect one within the next few months (or at the very least big holiday cuts). Sony were pretty clear that building the PS4's install base is a priority for them. Price cuts aren't just to help boost low sales, they're to maintain high ones or potentially lead to even higher sales. That's a concept many don't seem to understand :/
