All this arguing and I'm still wondering if those defending MS's firesale tactics realize that behavior is conditioning consumers to 1) view the Xbox as the cheap, less desirable alternative to the cool PS4 and 2) wait for the console to get even cheaper because it seems a better deal is always just a couple month's hold out away. Fire sales are good for jumpstarting, they are not a longterm strategy. Hence why Xbone interest absolutely craters after the holidays and don't go back up until whenever MS does a crazy huge deal.
