PS4 standing firm at its launch price sends a message. "if you want one, you might as well just pick it up now. cause its likely not gonna get cheaper down the road. Yea, come Xmas we may give you a $50 discount by bundling a game. but you will still be paying $400". As opposed to the message you are getting with XB1, "why buy now when if you wait till the end of the year we will sell it to you for $330 with two free games and maybe even a $50 gift card. that's like you buying it for $200 flat and getting 2 games and a $50 coupon for $130"

Those holiday only deals will end up doing more harm for them than good. They are basically putting themselves in a position where the only people that buy the XB1 during the first 10 months are people that really really really want one and can't wait. it doesn't help that during those first 10 months they don't have anything to push those people into buying one. like right now, I just know that come the end of this year, I will be able to get an XB1 for at most $350 with halo 5, tomb raider or forza bundled in. so I literally have to be stupid to buy it now. And if ms drops the price to $350 on or before e3, then I will know all of the above will apply but starting at $300. so again, wait.

+10000.
