MS know more than us, and sure they have more money than us :) but a 1% more in market share never justify a huge loss of money with so many price cut and free games. The problem for MS is that this lack of success was unaspected; they really believed in their product, they way they conceived it as an Ultimate entertainment system, XOne + Kinect2, but sadly for them it didn't work, so MS changed their mind, trying something---> Kinect-less One, free game into bundle, other price cut, but this has nothing to do with what you said, they are simply trying to not be utterly crushed by Sony, and save their face. Even my cat knows that too many price cut and free games into bundle starting after only 4 months from release is not a very good signal. They were not expecting PS4 to do so well and XOne to do so weak, that's all. What they are doing now is just a consequence. Don't call it a smart move please... If Sega was the Company behind XOne, it would have ended like Sega Dreamcast ! But you know MS are rich, so it won't happen. |
MS got caught with their pants down. It was supposed to be released this year with the MCC being the main launch title. Last generation if im not mistaken PS3 lost close to $200 on each console sold and burned all the cash made from PS1 and 2 iirc. You dont think MS is doing that do you? The PS survived. Both those pricecuts had to happen. Take the loss on the front end make it up on the back end.
I also think the 360 hasnt been cut just to soften the blow of this generation leading up to it.
