OP does not mention the two major change that Microsoft has done to compete against PS4: 1st: They removed the Kinect from the bundles. 2nd: X1 was selling for more then PS4 up to June 2014. Microsoft can maintain this price difference since the Xbox One cost less then PS4 to Manufacturer due to cheaper components. |
For the 2nd point yes they were selling for more than the PS4 up until June 2014 but even selling at the same price in June 2014 through Oct was not good enough. And it is not really the $350 price point that has caused this spike it is the bundles and deals that caused it to rise. The Holiday deaals MS have been giving were nothing short of INCREDIBLE for a 1yr old console. The $350 stand alone XB1 is still lower than everything the PS4 has to offer at a higher price. So they would have to maintain this price point AND the bundles to stay this competitive from what it seems. Now if they will do that...we won't know until Jan.
I am one of the people more interested in seeing what the XB1 does in comparisson to teh PS4 AFTER the holidays are over and the holiday bundles are gone. So I am more interested in Feb/Mar.
The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...
