I wonder how long "a limited time" is. I also wonder what effect this will have on sales since it's official. It almost certainly won't net them the win for this month. As we saw last year the PS4 was still the overall winner for the first three quarters of the year despite the $50 higher price point, plus the PS4 is currently experiencing a boost to sales due to this past October's price cut. Assuming the PS4 gets the same YoY boost as Jan. & Feb. it should sell around 400k this month, meaning the XBO would have to experience an over 70% YoY boost to match the PS4, which is well beyond the norm for any price cut. At best, I think the XBO might see a 25-30% increase, putting it in the neighborhood of 300k. Of course, unofficial price cuts run by Amazon don't seem to have done much, so an official price cut running after tax season is over and long before the holidays might not have a big effect. |
Couple of months, then about a week before GoW4 they'll drop back to $350 and then the same day as GoW4 releases they'll go to $300 permanently. That's my predicton.
