But they didn't intriduce a new model, right? It was still the exact same model of XBox made $100 cheaper by removing one unnecessary part of it to make it easier to absorb a price cut. Then.they had to cut anither $50 because it was still too expensive for it to sell. Judging by current sales, XOne is not worth $349 to the customers either, unlike a $399 PS4 that is still valuable, judging by the sales disparity.

So for Phil to invite a PS4 price drop is rather silly (or in this case very calculated) when all sales data point to XOne needing another price cut to be able to compete.

wasn't planning to join in but this just made me really sad...

The correct term is SKU or "Stock Keeping Unit" and not model. Microsoft introduced a new SKU with a new configuration, and that configuration being, no Kinnect included. It was priced at $399.

That is not a price cut. That is a new SKU with a NEW PRICE POINT.

Then the price was lowered by $50 on both SKU hence the new price points are $449 and $349. Now THAT IS A PRICE CUT.

Again, just to make it very clear.

Original SKU - Xbox one with kinnect - $499

New SKU - Xbox without kinnect - $399 = > NOT A PRICE CUT! New configuration with new price point

Price for both skus went down by $50

Originak SKU - Xbox one with kinnect - $449 = > THIS IS A PRICE CUT

Second SKU - Xbox one without kinnect - $349 => THIS IS A PRICE CUT.

XBOX one has only had 1 price cut and price has gone down by only $50.

And yes, I do have the authority and the knowledge about this seeing as i've been in retail and procurment for over a decade at a managerial level. I decide the price points for more than a thousand items/skus and i handle all new items and am in constant coordination with over a hundred suppliers and sheyt! so there. 

when it comes to this shyet! I am the authority! so everyone else with a different interpretation is WRONG! if anyones view doesnt not aligned with this, which is FACT, then booohoo fo you coz you are wrong and stop spinning things.

It had two price cuts and that is a fact.They just took away kinect and sold the same Xbox by itself,which is a price vcut cause no one bought the Xbox for kinect and only paid that much because they had to.Kinect should have never been included within the price to begin with.
