When a Company drops the price to many times, it's actually a clear warning: Don't buy this.
It's actually not good that they are doing this, this is all price-Market war and it never end up well if other companies are forced to lower their prices as well to compete, they make less money, loose profit's and some can even go bankrupt over this.. I have actually feared this since the first time they dropped the price! ''Please don't make a price-war out of this ''

Again, I'll say PS3 did this and it remained a great console. M$ is getting their ass stomped in sales and an official price drop isn't going to change that. Maybe they've lowered manufacturing costs or something. We don't know. The XBO has been $300 many times before and we don't know what they have placed in terms of newer, better models.

 

As good or as bad as the XBO may be, there's always going to be a group that won't buy a gaming console until it hits that "sweet spot" in price. Sony has managed to sell incredibly well at $399 but for M$, $500 (with Kinect) was a bad move and the sooner they can get the Xbox One down to a more consumer friendly price, the better.

 

I guess.

I actually agree with him and said and thought the same thing he just said on the very first price cut/free goodies.  It was so short after launching it came off strange and while I can't prove it I think it can negatively impact brand perception in people's mind.   

Who knows if it did but I had that thought when this started which was what, around titanfall?
