Well Microsoft cant lose money for that long(it cost $401 to make a kinectless xbox one)

they lose $50 for each one sold



What about 2 games(not even first party games) in bundle? it should cost 50$ more easily. They are losing 100$ per bundle.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

Won't last a fortnight. We already know that X1 sells more only when it is significantly cheaper than PS4.

MS are probably going to see how the market reacts to it being 399. I would. With all this momentum its got in the US now it's worth a shot to see how it does at full price again

They already saw how the market reacts to it at 399. It wasn't good. Microsoft would be very dumb to raise the price back. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

They must be making a terrible loss

but holy hell xbox one went from $500 to $350 in less than a year

Well, if they keep the price of $349 but without the games after january 3rd, the actual price is technically going up :).



Madword on 29 December 2014

I think the price will go back up and will stay that way until at least june of next year. MS have done this to gain some momentum and close up to Sony. I think they know they won't win this gen, so now its a case of staying beating Sony at Xmas when they can afford to drop the price...and knowing that Sony just can't match it fully.

Because it was just a holiday promotion from MS. That said it will probaly go down again and officially in March to $349.

Are they really taking the price back up? They might as well keep it down, although that might lead Sony to lower their price quicker. I guess we will see if word of mouth and strong advertising can keep momentum for MS going. They certainly won't regain US now without a fight.

Microsoft can afford a $50 loss with every console, Sony can't.
I don't see why they should raise the price again, they will just lose market share to PS4 again.

Microsoft's goal for this generation is to stay on par with Sony in the U.S.
