150 dollar drop in less than a year. This is why you don;t buy a console at launch XD

Only a$50 drop for the Kinct unit. How do you get to $150?

Microsoft's marketing always trumpets "Xbox One now $399" since the DisKinect. The price of entry has gone from $499 at launch timeframe to $349 with a game.

For those that don't care about Kinect (a majority, considering the sales history post June '14), the cost of an Xbox One + a game has gone from :

$560

to

$350 in about a year.

People can claim the "it's not a price drop" about the $399 bare SKU all they want, but it's a matter of perspective. As far as cost of entry, it was undeniably a price drop. And a substantial one.
