Wow so PS4 and XBONE will cost the exact same price in Canada? Pretty crazy.

I don't think  there is a price drop in Canada (at least not yet). The X1 is probably doing alright since there has been very little PS4 stock.

Omg, so its actually official? Is this the quickest price cut in the history of console gaming I wonder since the wiiU had a price cut around October? (The super failed consoles don't count)

Fastest was the original Xbox, a $100 price drop in May, just 6 months after release. This would be faster but a smaller price drop. That's assuming this is permanent, which it might not be.

You say the original Xbox had the fastest price drop, and then say this price drop is the fastest in the same comment? If OG Xbox had a price drop 6 months after release, the Xbox One's drop was 4 months after release.


I think even a monkey could figure out what he means!

Geeez nitpicking!



Welcome new lucky people getting Xbox Ones!

Have fun with your new systems.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

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...

Even without a price cut it's selling in line with the 360, which has sold over 70m, it's far outselling the original Xbox, even after the original Xbox's first $100 price cut. In other words even if they kept it at $500 until much later this year they'd still sell quite well. This price cut is more about wanting to not fall too far behind the PS4 than about desperation, like some people are claiming. 

Actually, isn't it something like half to a milion AHEAD of the 360?  We had a chart on the font page, but that left a week or two before (right before TitanFall Launch.)

And many people were waiting for PS3 announcements before thinking about a Xbox 360.

Desperate to not fall too far behind.

Dropping price : "oh its not desperation its just one retailer! Its not like an official drop or anything

Manufacturer drops the price on their own website, what now?


O I don't know. Why should they sell the system for 500 dollars when retail chains dropped the price?

No one would buy directly from them.

Titanfall effect is over.

Xbox One dropping momentum big time.

PS4 still sold out.

MS needs to figure out something fast. Its not the end of the world as I still think the One has been and will be successful, but NA is their stronghold and its losing ground still to PS4.

Official price cut should happen immediately and significant games need to be announced.


Can we stop saying the PS4 is sold out and there is supply issues. Here is JUST the GameStops within a 100 miles of me.

http://www.gamestop.com/Browse/StoreSearch.aspx?store=259&fromHold=true&sku=020384

Everyone of them has stock.

That isn't counting all the Walmarts and Best Buys who have stock in my area and have for 2-3 weeks now.
