| Bandorr said: I would like to see the Ps4 Pro do slightly better then the NS grey. Switch, PS4, Switch, Ps4, Switch, PS4. Makes a nice pattern. And not an xbox in sight. I propose that the lack of pricing for the Scorpio has caused people to not buy an xbox one/s. If it comes in at $400 then they would buy it, but if it is $500+ then they won't. Thus they are choosing to wait. So my question is - do you think that is accurate? Do you think people are putting off buying ANY xbox ones until they see the price? Would the slump get better or worse if the Scorpio price was announced at $400? What about $500? And then of course $600. |
I have to think that Scorpio is having some sort of impact on the Xbox One. I'm sure there will be a boost to sales either way, but I'm pretty confident the Scorpio will be priced $399 (at least for the cheapest, 1tb version) because Microsoft wouldn't go to all this trouble just for some pr victories, I don't think. A $500 system would sell okay initially, but would tail off rather quickly. I do wonder, though, that if they show off the Scorpio as the be-all, end-all, if it won't further damage Xbox One S sales. Sony clearly focused on keeping the Slim as its big seller, which makes sense, given its lower price. Spencer has said the same of Scorpio, but at the same time they've also been much more focused on Scorpio than the One S, so the messaging seems a little conflicted.
