But if they really are to push the price up again after the holidays, even less people will buy the console. Also, they make the Xbox look cheaper than the PS4. Now every consumer can see it, the PS4 is more expensive. There are many many people who think that such a thing equals better quality (I know it doesn't, but I'm talking about the masses) so it could hurt the Xbox brand in the long run. Just like the iPhone is recognized by most people as a more quality phone than most Android phones. But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong of course. |
They won't. I thought it was a pretty transparent way to try and create even more of a rush so MSFT could talk holiday sales. Greenberg set it up already sayign holiday is all matters in a previous statement so by creating a false 3 month price drop (just literally unheard of and pointless to even say) They will try to get people who think this is going away in January to buy now to inflate holiday sales even more than just announcing the price drop.
