You do know this is the same tactic MS ran with 360 as well, don't you? I am not saying it is good or bad, but it has benefitted them in the past. Also, I am not sure they are loosing money, since they have only made a temporary drop by 50$, otherwise they have to SKU: one with Kinect for 499$ and one without for 399$. And you also act as if PS4 hasn't had any deals this holiday, which I find interesting :).

360 sold well all year, x1 does not.  

Deals bundles happen each year, since the dawn of consoles.  3 price cuts in one year  ($400, $350, $329) is someting else.

Comparing the timeframe, X1 has actually pulled ahead of 360, even in Europe. 360 did sell good during the first three quarters, but it was the holidays that made 360 pull ahead, in front of PS3 almost every year.

So you mean MS dropped the price of X1 to 399$ AND included the Kinect? I must have missed that press release...

And when did MS announce 329$? It seems you try, quite desperately, to paint a bleak picture on purpose, not by looking at the real situation.

"if the xbox one can only sell when they drop the price three times in less than a year ($400, $350, $329 on black friday) with two free games one being a brand new $60 game with a $30 game, and a $50 gift card selling for about as much as a ps3 in their home territory with a sweet ass call of duty custom bone, a vanilla sunset overdrive bone and the flagship halo mcc and can only manage to outsell the ps4 during the holidays in only the united states, then yes, it is a death trap. before the holidays they occasionally got outsold by the wii u."

Real situaton, bleak as hell no matter how much you pretand other wise.
