Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One production may slow down or stop to give retailers a chance to shift inventory

Good idea, but you know what would really help retailers shift Xbox One inventory? If PS4 production stopped.

Fox News would be proud with the spin of this thread title.

There is nothing in the article that supports this title.

You know, except for the fact that the thread title is almost 1:1 part of the article.

"implying that manufacturing of Xbox consoles will slow or stop, to allow retailers time to work through existing inventory."

Fox News would be proud of your reading ability.


The last line in the Update... sorry, I didn´t read it.

"She also referred to "channel inventory drawdown for Xbox consoles,""

Well, if that was the only thing she said and was enougth to imply the title... too bad. This could be refering to anything between: price cut, bundles and aggressive marketing.

Because in fact, reducing the manufecture this time of the year is more than expected, it´s a obvious decision.

PS: What will be done with the 3mi 360 clogging the retail channel then?

PS2: Never mind, this is a Copy-Paste Neogaf thread http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=807787

It's PPS. Post postscript.

Subsequent additions would be PPPS, PPPPS etc.

Common knowledge that MS constantly stuff's the channel with every type of Xbox they make.

That does not sound positive, Their rival cant make enough.

Just cut the damn price, make a kiex less sku bring back the 360 strategy that worked damn well.

What do you mean their rival can't make enough? I have regularly seen PS4 available either online or in stores since start of March.

Maybe the WiiU will ship more consoles this quarter

Well... there had to be a limit on how much inventory retailers were willing to hold. I was already amazed that they have held almost a mil units.

Oh you mean Q3 (Jan-Mar 07) when it was actually confirmed for 360 shipments? Because other then that, it is all speculative and propaganda.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

They should help Sony to make PS4 since they can't keep up with demand. :P

Why exactly does it being on NeoGaf change anything?  Almost every gaming story written ends up on there, the site is massive

NeoGAF is like Mobile gaming here on VGChartz.

 

"GASP!", "Meh", "Yuck", "Fuck that shit", "Terrible". They believe it automatically invalidates it.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!
