That wouldn't work anywhere near as well though. The only reason the XB1 sold more last year was because people rushed out and bought thinking they wouldn't get another opportunity to buy it so cheap. Of course the ruse was exposed immediately when MS put the price straight back down again after it had gone back up, but of course they had to have a period of time when the console went back up because it would then have been even more obvious what they'd pulled. |
There are things that Phil Spencer said back before Halo 5 came out that may not hold up now, like, wanting the Xbox division to remain profitable. Once H5 failed to boost the box significantly over their competitior in October, I'm entirely sure all bets were off. Just saying, wouldn't surprise me if MS responded to any sort of spike in sales and impulsively would try to maintain that using any means. Even if it is a horrible idea.
