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.


This an stupid assessment, if we take this as relevant then the PS3 never dropped in price, considering they always cut stuff from the skus, things more important and useful than Kinect. The only relevant thing here is that a year ago you could get a XONE for $500 and now you can get one for $350, if they're not careful, some people would eventually decide to always wait for the next pricedrop which would really hurt their sales baseline.
