Pssst.. i have a little secret for you: Pretty much everything will be more costly a year from now. The days of chinese laborers working for $100 a month are long gone. Salaries rise, even in China. Shipping costs currently are very low, they are likely to increase again in the future. Raw materials increase in price, too. Microsoft is not going down at whatever price. I can now walk into a MediaMarkt and buy the Fifa17 Slim S bundle for $249. That's $249 including taxes and store margin. This gives you a rough idea of just how much money MS is willing to throw down the pit. |
I think ive heard that for some years now. True or not, how much it is going to influence prices for end consumer is a whole different story. Nobody guessed 3-5 years ago UHD TVs are going to be this cheap by 2016.
Not going down at whatever price? Lol. Dream on. Microsoft cant afford it to throw a console for 600~ on the market. And i know what a MediaMarkt is. There are three in my town.
299 euro aint 249 dollar btw.
at least according to what we can see here...
Hunting Season is done...
