| 5drew00 said: Microsoft blew it when Xbox One launched at $500 against $400 PS4. MS could be neck and neck with Sony in sales now if Kinect 2 had been sold separately. That's why Scorpio cannot launch at $500 either. PS4 Pro came in at $400. History repeating itself. I do not see how Scorpio can debut at $400 maybe $450 but PS4 Pro will drop at least to $350 a $100 difference again. And Switch is $300 with Mario Odyssey this holiday. I cannot wait for MS E3 press conference in 2 Weeks, maybe MS will surprise us with Scorpio price. |
Thats what happens when they try to beat Sony at their own game. Sony knew the PS4 with true 4k would be jumping the gun because the market wasnt ready yet. They decided to focus on streaming. They had to make an upgrade that could reach a reasonable price. If Microsoft sells the Scorpio at $399, they would be taking PS3 sized losses....but luckily only on a small amount of secondary hardware because it was never expected for the scorpio to outsell the base model Xbox One S.
