Just noticed this and fully agree. I also think a selling point of the bundle could be a free digital download of halo 5 when it's ready.

I'd say it would be illegal, in Europe at least, for MS to arbitrarily undercut the cost based on MS having vast funds to survive a subsidized console against a fledgling company, Sony. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think they'd be allowed to sell at a loss if it appeared to be monopolistic.

I think March 2015 to $349.

Gamescom 2015 will announce a $100 price cut.

A $50 price cut early next year.

nfl bundle is already at that price.

Before the new generation there was some speculation on subscription based sales. Why is there not an offer for two years of XBL + XboxOne console for $40 a month.

Does anyone really care? It seems like any exclusive on Xbox One comes to PS4. I don't see myself purchasing a Xbox this gen. I think most people feel the same way. Just buy Halo on PC.

Whenever 20nm yields and capacity at TSMC improve sufficiently to enable AMD to shrink the XB1 APU down and MS uses the opportunity to redesign the XB1 to reduce costs. The problem for MS is that Sony will have the same opportunity to reduce costs when 20nm hits, so will likely match any price cut MS does and maintain the sales momentum.

20nm production has just started at TSMC however production quantities and yields are low so production is currently focussing on mobile SoC's for Apple and Qualcomm (smaller dies than what the PS4 and XB1 APU's use, so yields aren't as big an issue). By Q1-Q2 2015 production should be sufficient to shrink the PS4 and XB1 APU's, so I'd peg a price cut for the PS4 and XB1 around the Mar-May 15 timeframe.
