Kmart, Bestbuy and Target all have november sales that mark at least $50 off the console.

Most include a free game too.

Now is not the time to buy.

The fire sale begins. MS and retailers must be really scared that the X1 is ready to falter

Firesale? Do you know what that word means? A 12.5% retailer cut is not a firesale, stop with the hyperbowl.

How about flop or bomba?

It's BOMBA territory for sure.

Especially when you consider the original price.  

$400 to $350 is bomba territory? No.

$400 was not the original price though. $500 to $350 in less than a year "is bomba territory" even if certain thinsg were being removed. Especially when you consider that the immediate competition is holding steady at its original price.

Its however not a fire sale though. For that to happen it needs to be at around $150 or something.

Either way I am not complaining, I want these consoles to get cheaper so their adoption is faster that way we stop seeing these horrible cross gen games. Its only bad for MS if after these price slashes they still don't sell as much as a PS4 or even better. And that is not good for my grand plan of overall lower priced consoles cause if that happens then sony doesn't/wouldn't need to cut their own prices. Rather they would just do things like "add value" to the box. eg couple of game downloads/PS+ free year subscription/bigger HDD all at the same $400.

I wasn't aware the Kinect sku was $350? Otherwise, no it isn't a $150 drop. It was just the introduction of a new sku.

The actual price cut here is $50.
