No clue, but why when they state specifically (in the *disclamer) what game sales they do not track they omit the one thing they mentioned in the ** disclaimer? It doesn't make any sense either.

Maybe the Top 10 is to show which games were the Top sellers for the month by their own right. Which games sold best just by people walking into a store to purchase them without anything else attached.

Someone else would obviously know better than I do.

Increasing a price and very quickly reducing the price as an 'offer' is unethical. It is a banned practice here in the UK. We have OFCOM for stuff like that.

Good move, keep the momentum going, especially in the US.

Because they already mentioned it?

maybe they'll raise it before E3 again so they can announce an official price drop ;)

In the US, we have price gouging laws, which are triggered by sharp variations in price, to capitalize on demand. This situation, however, is a bit outside the norm.

They have just mess up everyone or third party that bought the xbox one with a price drop to resell it a bit higher.

You mean literally only in the US.

A good move by MS. Market share at the end of the day will have a huge impact on long term profit and the overall viability of the platform.

So i dont think MS will be too concerned about short term losses (if they even have any). I'm sure MS would prefer Xbox makes them profit, but that's not the sole reason for the console's existence.

Xbox is MS's foot into the living room space...a place where they dont have much presence. And while they haven't expanded on it too much outside of gaming it's an avenue they can exploit down the line.

Because they don't want to lose the only territory Xbox can do well in.
