| CGI-Quality said: Never realized having an opinion (and backing it up) would get me so crucified. That's two "come on's" in one thread. Yes, I believe that until I see otherwise. Has there ever been a situation where this has happened, from Microsoft? Genuine question. I mean, it's as I said, if this were permanent, they'd be more willing to say that up front, especially given what kind of market penetration it could mean, particularly in the US. I also never said anything about $400 without a game, as I think they'll probably always offer a bundled game down the road. The removal of Kinect was not a price cut. Dropping to $349.99, temporary or not, is (especially given the value of each bundle). A $200 Xbox One is no where close, definitely not within the next 1.5 years. |
I wasn't crucifying you. Just pointing out that considerring how weird the pricing this gen has been so far, it wouldn't really be far fetched to assume that a $200-$250 XB1 is just a year or so away. Ther are so many things that has happend this gen so far that if anyone said that would be the case just 12 months ago they would have been branded as a crazy fanboy.
No need to say it. Just look at it this way. If you see it being marketed on TV. If you say one single commercial in the next week or so saying XB1 now starting at $349... then know its gonna be permanent.
I also don't particularly care the kinectless sku is a price drop or not. None of that matters to me or the fact that at the end of the day, on TV it wil be marketed as XB1 now starting at (insert price here). It still doesn't change the fact that not a single person alive would have believed it if in Nivember last year anyone had said
"in 12 months, you will be able to get an XB1 for $350 with a free game. Yes, the same console that is about to launch at $500"
And thats the point I am trying to make.
