The issue, an one that many do not seem to want to face, is that at it's core, the X1 is simply a more undesirable console than the PS4. Price is not the only issue.

MS is still too greedy, sony sold Lego Marvel for 9 bucks and gave us a bunch of awesome free games, MS still treat us like dying famish beggars. =/
In Australia the Xbox1 is $470, $50 more then the Wii U @$420 (but that's because the Wii U is overpriced here) and $80 cheaper then the Ps4 @550.
I'm not aware of that doing much good for the Xbox1

It's barely behind Wii U now even though it hasn't had it's tier 2 launch yet or any of it's fall/Holiday multiplats which Wii U doesn't have. |
its already available in those tier 2 countries

All they can do really is pump up the exclusives and cute 100$ in 2 years

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.
| BeElite said: We all know the market numbers so i wont bother showing them in peeps faces. But seems to me both consoles especially X1 might be in a GC like situation where even when its price was less and always always cut to be less then PS2, 299/199 or 199/149 and finally 179/99 it all failed to really spur sales and PS2 still constatly double if not triped some times even quadrupled GCs sales (that is in NA). Looks like MS just misfired with the X1, so im basicaly saying even at 299 X1 and PS4 at 399 it would still out sale the X1 in US and well same old same old in Europe and rest of the world. 199 would make things interesting, but lets be real that aint happenin and sony would cut to 299 if it some how were to actually happen. Overall PS is just to strong and PS4 just a product done damn right, no matter what MS does theres a easy counter to it. yay or nay |
A price cut at 299 for X1 at this point would mean 'another Sega DreamCast'; nobody on earth go into a business to lose money; so, a price cut now at 299 would mean XBone will be discontinued soon, which is not the case. What I can see is good deals/bundles for both Sony and MS in high season, that's all.

Not even at 299$ Xbone can reach or outsell the PS4, PS4 is just simply in another level this gen and that makes me very happy yay :)

This excuse for this year is utter crap. Halo MCC, Forza Horizon 2, SSO,TF,Fantasia,KSR and Dance Central on X1. PS4 Infamous, DC, LBP3 and TLOU remaster. MS screwed it up back in 2013 and the fact that they have still sold more than 360 in the same timeframe at a more expensive price is surprising. The 1080p thing seems to be going by the wayside as companies start pushing parity across the platforms.
Has the Xbox One had an official price cut yet? Does making a new Kinect less sku count as a price cut?
