I just have a hard time seeing the price being able to go back up.

The danger in doing a prolonged sale at a certain price is that consumers begin to expect that price. Aside from retailer specific sales or flash type sales.

We saw this last year with XB1's "Holiday Special price of 349.99". No way in hell they were going to be able to go back up to 399.

So here is what I think will happen. Price will go back up to 349.99 for maybe 2 weeks, with many retailers offer deals at 299.99. This way people who really care about the extra 50 bucks will be able to deal hunt to get one. Then, maybe 10 days out from Cmas the prices will go back to 299.99 across the board for the final push to Cmas.

Much of this will depend on supply. If supplies are becoming contrained they wont drop the price because will cause a shortage at a reduced price when you can meet demand at a higher?
