it just looks like there pulling the trigger each time there sales arent better than the PS4s what leads me to believe this is why announce it today when NPD releases showing a marginal 200k victory and taking effect tomorrow in order to win Jan ive never seen price cuts announced or take effect like that they must of thought that sales would continue to be better or on par with the PS4 after jan 3, online trackers showed that they fell off right after the 25th of Dec despite the 350 tag resulting in yet another trigger pull |
Despite having predicted MS moves (but not this bizarre timing) and finding your additional considerations and possible explanations sensible, I'm still puzzled like Aj_habfan and Dallinor, because there was an almost ideal period to do the official cut, a few weeks later, when clearance sales period ends, this would have ensured a smoother transition, switching from the unofficial discounts made by stores both for the sales and the slow period on the list price already returned up, to the official definitive price drop, with maximum positive effects and minimised possible drawbacks.
