Hopefully the Pro and the Switch can replace the value MS are sucking out of this industry with these ludicrous deals.

I admit, for a consumer, that's an amazing deal. For the industry at large? Deals like this from MS are scorched earth tactics the likes I've never seen. That's not even feeding revenue into the ecosystem. Somebody with that many games at once probably isn't going to buy another one so soon. They're practically just paying to boost units at this point.

The x1 percived value has to be near the floor in the consumers eyes. MS seems to want to drg everyone down with them but it wont work with the release of the pro and switch. it might start to look its the old gen and thats why its cheaper, so the pro and switch wont be that damaged when ms basicly starts giving theese things away.

Edit: wasent last ms Q report saw a huge increase in hardware but with really high losses in profit? That is the reason why this insane deals are not healthy for the industry.
