Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft Store slashes the price of Xbox One to $449.99 USD

I dont understand the whole XOne doom preaching, its doing very, very well, its just a little unfortunate for Mixrosoft that PS4 is just completly umbeliveable, the greatest Sony fan out there wasnt expecting PS4 to have a lauch this strong.

So this is official? That's good news but not good enough. They need to drop it to at least $399 and if they want a chance of winning NA then they need to undercut the PS4.


Do you want them to bleed money? Toooo Soon for that, actually this price cut is much quicker than most anticipated already. X1 been out for 4months and its already got its price cut. Still its better selling less than losing alot more money!

Well that was surprising, didn't expect it so soon but I did predict a $50 pricecut before summer


I thought they would wait at least a month until stabbing the Titanfall buyers in the back...


They would be stabbed in the back regardless, just like anyone who buys an 8th gen system right now. Price cuts, remodels, bundles, etc. are inevitable throughout any and all system's life cycles.

there is a huge difference between someone buying a system then 6-12 months later a price cut or whatever comes, than someone buying a system and that stuff comes 6 days after.



Be it 5 minutes or 5 years, still backstabbed all the same.

I think Ms might be scared


Well they should be.  This is turning into a near worst case scenario.  If this thing does around the same numbers as the original Xbox it will signal a total failure of one of their most controvertial divisions...



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

[Prediction Made 6/18/2014]

If they cut the price a year after launch, I don't really consider that a stab in the back. This mere months after launch is though. 



Well what you consider doesn't change that one could have gotten a better deal if they had waited. Now whether or not they get upset over it is on themselves! I certainly wont get upset if they price cut the 3DS this year, infact I'm expecting them to.

Yes, so all companies shouldn't cut the price of any of their products cuz its backstabbing all early consumers lol

when Halo is revealed I expect this to sell like hotcakes.



ICStats on 25 March 2014

I wonder if a million people will rush to buy the next Xbox at launch given these events.

If it came out at an uncompetitive price I guess people would remember.  Never has there been a console where you can get $100 more value by waiting a few months.

They need to unbundle kinect with a massive $150 price cut. That way they can have the price advantage for this generation, won't anger the early adopters that much, and crush the PS4 permanently (at least in the US).

Not necessarily true, try buying a Nintendo 64 right now.
