Whooa, this sounds significant.  This could definitely put the XOne on top for December NPD.

I almost wonder if this is a sign of Microsoft preparing to sell their gaming division by trying to boost XOne's install base as much as possible. I don't understand why you would want to take these kinds of losses when your console isn't doing that badly. I was expecting another $50.00 price-cut but this is insane. I am also not sure how practical it will be for Microsoft to raise the price again after this sale ends.

I wouldnt get too excited, this will mainly be for software. There is no way they will drop 50% off the console price, and if they do it will be limited numbers like they did before.

I believe they have already lost december, they are just trying to not make it to much of a gap... i do not believe they can drop the price that much because next year it would be another terrible Jan sales.
