I'm calling a $100 price cut in the fall if sales don't pick up. They know that it's to expensive. They wanted to pack in Kinect and stick with it, so the cut is the only option if sales do not pick up by that time.

Both those were in reaction to price cuts made by Sony who had been on the market longer with PS2 and PS1 respectively.  

The $100 PS2 price cut made by Sony was a particularly aggresive move that ensured it's dominance.

Retailers:

Maybe

Microsoft:

no non TF bundles will still sell for 500 in us

The end times a comin'.

im a Sony fan and im arguing FOR a price drop. I dont know what thread you are looking at but most of the people agaisnt the price drop are pro MS

Ooops! I thought this was a new thread. Don't mind me.

I think it is a bitch move to cut so quickly after the console launch. Wait until the later half the year, so you can at least disguise it as a holiday discount to the uninformed consumers

If you think Microsoft will price drop before this March ends, you clearly don't know Microsoft and Xbox. I''ll take the bet, no world wide official price drop by Microsoft this month. Just because PS4 is doing exceptional doesn't mean the Xb One is faltering especially considering all the bad pr.
Seriously, XB 1 has sold about 1 mil a month, 3 1/2 months for about 3.5 sales (VGC sales)
And even if the PS4 has nearly doubled that,
the wii u has done about 6 mil in 15 months, about 400k a month and even that didn't have a price drop till like 8 months in.

Idk if I was MS I would wait at least until 2 months after Titanfall comes out so they can really get an idea of how things are stacking up, and so the Titanfall buyers don't get completely snubbed...
