Forums - Microsoft - Brazilian Kinectless XOne is only 10% cheaper

FrankMstone on 13 May 2014

And on one of the biggest online sellers in Brazil they are currently selling the Titanfall bundle for 1.999,90.

I really can't understand the logic behind this price for the kinectless sku.

How much is that in dollars?


About U$900


That's way too much. Brazil really need to sort this stuff out.

According to the people above the PS4 is, what, 1800$? Jesus.

Well, tecnicaly these are not "bundles" as they have in the USA and EU...

Or, the bundles are starting to arive here... that is a very good deal as Titanfall is current R$250,00.

Yes the PS4 can be found in big retailers for about U$1600 however there are smaller stores that are selling them already for U$700

How is that? Imports on the grey market?

Brazilians ask to be robbed, so if MS puts x1 kinect for 2,5k and kinectless x1 for 2,3k people would still buy it as they have bought ps4k.

Yes grey market. Most of the videogame consoles in Brazil have always been sold through the grey market, this time Microsoft made a big enough push that it  got the Xbox One out at a price point that made the grey market, at least intiallly, unable to compete with. An educated guess on my part would be that 90% of all the PS4s in country are from the grey market, while 90% of the Xbox Ones are from the legal one (considering buying trends and price competitiveness currently on the market).

How come Sony wasn't that smart?

No biggie, PS4 is way more expensive regardless.



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

Everyday I see XOne with kinect for R$1600~1700 (around U$750), why would someone pay R$1999 for a kinectless console? I don't think MS is worried about bringing this option to Brazil at all, they only announced it to say that it is avaible here, but probably no one will buy, except if retailers sell it for something like R$1300 or less. I have even seen XOne + Titanfall (not the bundle) for 1600 once, bringing the Titanfall bundle for a similar price would be nice.
