Price cuts won't help much anymore, MS already realised it later last year, they already shifted for a profit rather than a sales stratagy, but even then there are still better deals on the XBO upfront right now and it's not working at all, just look at Amazon, price cuts and deals don't work anymore, that's a lost battle, elevating the XBO sales to PS4 sales is something MS can't do anymore, and they know it, so there should be no price cut soon, there is no reason for that.

Then it essentially undermine's the position of the brand. The reason its losing is due to virtually no marketing, and overpriced bundle's. All their good bundle's are going for 400$ (Eg division bundle), and either they don't sell, or they produce almost none of them so they can't sell. A profit strategy in the long term results in a lose of revelance amoung the market. A 249$ price cut would see a huge upshift in sales, and as such software sales should improve. Games are selling 1/2 on the XB1 compared to the PS4, which is why they aren't making money. Hardware isn't mean't to be profitable, trust me, the strategy will fail.

 

MS needs that Xbox One slim version... like yesterday.

The sooner they can get one of those out, and maybe a another 50$ cut, the better.

I know sony will follow, but if MS are quick about it, they could atleast have a periode of time where they could reap some benefits from such a move.

And lets face it, their console needs a slim version alot more than the PS4 does. Xbox One is huge and kinda badly designed, because it was made big to have room for the kinect. Now that kinect is gone, its just bigger than it needs to be. Also its design.... its not the best looking console ever.

A pretty designed slim model thats smaller and cheaper to produce = short term win, which the xbox could use.
