they are. im starting to think we might see an official price cut for XB1 soon. 

Maybe at E3 they´ll officially announce it.For now it might be a temporary price cut to show on March NPD that in the month Titanfall was released, they were able to surpass PS4 numbers.

thats what i am thinking. in the summer where the sales will drop drastically. could they cut it by 100$ or will they just by 50$? that 399$ price rang would make the XB1 look much more attractive.

I guess that depends on whether or not they´ll sell the system without Kinect.

without kinect i can see them dropping the system by 150$ bucks. 

is kinect really worth all those lost sales though? i just dont get it. 



Well we can all rest easy knowing that the PS4 has yet to outsell the XB1 and the Wii U's combined LTD/

So PS4 is pretty much a lock to destroy Xbox One this week in the US?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

PS4 will likely globally outsell Xbox One in March. NPD will be interesting. Could be very close.


With Amazon, Walmart, Target and Best Buy dropping XB1 price Im thinking X1 will now easily take March NPD. Maybe 300k vs 350k


All these places are dropping XB1 price?

I guess it´s as close as it gets to an official price cut by MS.


There is maybe a real (hidden) price cut from MS (on top of the free game of course) but MS don't want people to know there is an official price cut.

Because they know an official price cut would not be good for XB1 image. (Second price cut in fact after the first hidden price cut with the free game Forza or Titanfall)

It's just a theory.

Depends on how many PS4s are available. 



If things continue this way, PS4 is going to strengthen its leadership, one title at a time, but it won't "destroy" XBOne, because the latter will do like PS3 in 7th gen, reaching and keeping a very good selling 2nd place, and it will do it one title at a time too. Ninty should take note, because dedicating and SHOWING the same commitment to Wii U as Sony and MS do with their new consoles, it could sell a lot better and at least end this gen with a decent selling 3rd place, if not resist without ceding 2nd place until the end.

Anyhow, this 106% sales boost will make many hater pandas sad.

Would be true if Xbox was anything like Playstation. With their current policies, not a chance in hell, and PlayStation is going further rather than remaining stagnant. It will be significantly harder for the XB1 then it was for the PS3. Like if the X360 was Vega and PS3 was Ryu, PS4 would be Akuma/M.Bison and XB1 would be Ken.
