Xbox may counter Sony’s $50 off holiday sale, new retailer ad suggests
Microsoft may be discounting the Xbox One to counter Sony’s temporary $50 PS4 price cut. If you recall, this past Sunday Sony put the PS4 on sale for $299 through December 19th.
Microsoft has yet to confirm whether they’ll be countering with their own temporary price cut but Best Buy’s US weekly ad for December 13th through December 19th has been leaked out online already and it indicates that Microsoft isn’t going to watch from the sidelines. You can view it here as it contains a good amount of discounts on games like Rise of the Tomb Raider and more.
This ad has “Xbox One consoles $50 off”. This should apply to the $349 Gears of War 500GB bundle since the ad doesn’t use any language that indicates a specific bundle is on sale. This would effectively make the Xbox One $299 for that week at Best Buy.
Of course, this doesn’t mean Microsoft is running a temporary sale like Sony. Best Buy could be alone in this. That would be odd, considering they’d likely be selling it at a loss for them, cutting out the small margin retailers make on consoles. So perhaps Microsoft has given them and all other retailers some incentive to sell their system for a little bit cheaper next week and possibly leading up to or through Christmas.
Microsoft has yet to confirm this as a special sale outside of Best Buy so I’d take it as a rumor for now that they’re countering Sony’s PS4 sale. It would be strange if they did absolutely nothing. Though if you want an Xbox One for $50 off, Best Buy will have your back at the very least if no other retailer has Remond’s console on sale next week.
