Forums - Microsoft - Pachter hints at 'exciting' holiday promotion for X1, says potential buyers should wait

And the game of Limbo continues, how low can they go?

Honestly, aren't they risking devaluing the brand? At this point, anyone with a brain is probably thinking "hmmm, there's a new price cut/promotion every month, might as well wait till it's cheaper next month".

At this rate, I expect a $200 X1 by the end of next year and I see no reason why someone would jump in now. Might as well just wait.

Moderated,

Why do people even give a shit what pachter thinks?



Black Friday XB1/Halo bundles for $300.



Microsoft: "Thanks Pachter for telling people to not buy XB1s now!"



Is he trying to sink sales before the holiday starts.



Around the Network

Will it be bundled with a PS4 Destiny bundle?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

What the hell are you talking about? Trying to get people to buy your console is a bad thing these days? I guess you just want MS to roll over and let the Xbox die, smh.

Minecraft bundle


Yup. I am also 100% sure that Minecraft 2 will be mobile and Xbone exclusive. MS likes to use clever wording when they make statements. They never said Minecraft "IP" would remain for all platforms. They only said Minecraft, as in, the first entry.

There is no way they are going to spend 2.5 billion and allow their rivals have the sequel.

No, but this does devalue the console, don't you think? I mean, the price has been dropping so fast.
