Not really, its a very strong happening where a strong product that sales great all year vs a weaker one that relies on bundles giveaways and "temporary" price cuts for the holidays. It happens in many markets where the weaker lesser seller is forced into losses to maintain relevence and save their minority share doring short term sales bonanzas. Good for the consumer, a death trap for the product and brand.

A death trap for the brand that is Xbox? Ok I've heard it all now.

Conditioning the industry that your product is weak 90% of the year and only sales well on fire sales is great in your mind right? cuttign price by near half in one year is a testament to its strength in your eyes right ?
X1 and MS failure with it has severly damaged the brand, given all the lies and price cuts and giveaways needed to sale anything they have badly devalued the brand. Xbox is no longer a product you buy early or day one. Now you wait a year and buy it for half the price.
