Bargin bin ... dear lord. $400 to $350 a year after launch is not bargin bin, and I hardly see this hurting MS/XB1 ...

They're devaluing their product by doing constant price cuts and free game giveaways.

A product that is popular and selling well doesn't have price cuts and free game promotions every month. It doesn't need them.

BTW, the Xbox One launched at $500, not $400.

New sku minus kinect, not price cut. Big difference. If I was in the market for an XB1 today I would have to pay $450, that's only $50 less than what I got it at launch. (Because I would want Kinect model).

They're not devaluing, they're becoming competitive. And they're doing it to beat PS4, not because it's selling badly (not that I think it's selling fantastically either).

Some incredible reaching going on in this thread.

So the logic here then, is if they remove something, then it isn't a price-cut?

So when sony did the ps3 redesign and took out a bunch of stuff like backwards compatibility, that wasn't a price-cut? I'm trying to think now if ps3 ever had a price-cut now.

u should compare to the x360 core, arcade, pro and elite version

if u got a 349 bucks 250gb elite version
release a 199 bucks 8gb arcade edition and cut the elite to 299

do u have a 150 bucks pricecut?
