How smart are temporary price drops?

I'd like to see them raise the price come Jan, they'll get butchered. Only way they can compete with PS4 in US is to have a price advantage.

I think shock drastic weekend price cuts may be a good idea because the consumer doesn't get used to that price, but for 2 whole months? No way.

Edit - anyway I think MS are saying temporary right now because it adds urgency. Come Jan they might just keep it the same.

You mean the drop the price?

Yeah keeping it permanent is the smartest option. 

Just being cheaper than PS4 yeah.

MS need to go more than keeping it permanant, they need to go $299 at E3.
