| thismeintiel said: It amazes me the mental gymnastics some Xbox fans go through to claim Xbox never gets a price cut. They did it last gen with the "just replacing SKUs" argument, and they're doing it this gen with the "unbundling of Kinect" excuse. The XBO has had a $150 price cut since launch, just get over it. Just like if the more desired SKU gets a price cut, while the most bare bones SKU remains $199, that's still a price cut. |
wrong.
this is getting old.
does Xboxone with Kinect = Xboxone without kinect?
Nope.
with kinect = $449.00
without kinect = $349.00
original xboxone with kinect at launch price = $499.00
see the difference?
just $50 less than at launch for the sku with kinect.
one new sku at a new pric point.
just one price cut.
the difference then and now is that they introduced another SKU, the one without a kinect and priced it at $399.00. A new price point and a new SKU with new configuration (no kinect) while still retaining the original one with the kinect included.
It is wrong to say that it has gotten a $150.00 price cut.
