$400 was not the original price though. $500 to $350 in less than a year "is bomba territory" even if certain thinsg were being removed. Especially when you consider that the immediate competition is holding steady at its original price.

Its however not a fire sale though. For that to happen it needs to be at around $150 or something.

Either way I am not complaining, I want these consoles to get cheaper so their adoption is faster that way we stop seeing these horrible cross gen games. Its only bad for MS if after these price slashes they still don't sell as much as a PS4 or even better. And that is not good for my grand plan of overall lower priced consoles cause if that happens then sony doesn't/wouldn't need to cut their own prices. Rather they would just do things like "add value" to the box. eg couple of game downloads/PS+ free year subscription/bigger HDD all at the same $400.

I wasn't aware the Kinect sku was $350? Otherwise, no it isn't a $150 drop. It was just the introduction of a new sku.

The actual price cut here is $50.

I agree, not sure where this $150 logic even comes from.  It is obvious that it is being used for convenience of people trying to argue the freefall of the XB1

Tis clearly just a 1 off sale, happens all the time tis more a fact of how Kmart are in trouble than to do with the Xbox in reality. Black Friday is gonna be crazy this year tho, I actually expect deaths with sales coming in.

Next person to make a quote tree longer than three posts will get a free ban! So please be careful

@Seece

You are neglecting the $60 store credit on top of the $50 price cut from the Kmart offer, the free Unlocked offer at Bestbuy with the additional discount, or the free game deal we just had which could have been 2 free games at 399.99 if you bought a bundle.  So savings of $120 from that alone...

This is bomba territory.  You can't overlook things just because you don't want to see them.

I see retailer deals that all consoles get, and the 2 games cost MS far less than a permanent $100 price cut.

Bomba is $250 and under.

We will just agree to disagree.  When I start seeing such promotions for the PS4, I will be able to see your point of view.

I knew it!

This should prove interesting for the holidays. I wonder how/if sony will respond and the impact on overall sales for the season.
