Forums - Sales - if Sony drops the price will Microsoft follow?

October I could understand, due to Halo, but November? Sony has the Battlefront bundle and marketing rights, CoD marketing rights (an the inevitable bundle). If the two consoles are sold at the same price it's gonna be hard for MS to win november.


Marketing rights? They both get the game. Anyone who looks at the games in the store will SEE that both systems have those games. You're putting WAY too much stock in marketing rights imo.

Marketing rights do matter, but the bundles even moreso. Case in point: Destiny. It released on both consoles, but the PS4 got a way bigger boost than the XBO. Same with Watch Dogs and Batman Arkham Knight. Also, trust me, there's a reason MS has paid for CoD marketing rights all these years; it pushes consoles.

 

I just don't see the XBO winning at the same price as the PS4 when it has lost all but one month at 50$ less.

Yes they are losing money with each console its a fact the kinect cost them 75$ of their 500$ price tag. The xbox one should cost 425$ but it costs 350$.

Sony made 20$ profit with each console sold from the 400$ price tag and because they scalled down the PS4 to the current CUH 1200 model they should be able to afford a 350$ price tag.

No, you are trying to prove your narrative with outdated sources.

Going by rumors, the Xbone SoC was already reduced last year: http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/193371-xbox-one-readies-shift-to-20nm-but-can-a-smaller-node-help-it-match-the-ps4s-performance

The implications are up to you.

Well the head of Xbox said they're ready for a ps4 pricecut so perhaps they are expecting ps4 to go to 350 and they countering with 300-320. But if sony goes for 300 I don't think ms would undercut them.

Based on the reduction of the SoC. Which of course is a rumor which nobody till now verified, yes. But you say it wasn't reduced while we can't be completely sure but the "leak" doesn't really add much for your belief than it does to mine.

Ehh i am pretty sure it would be revealed and announced, there are tech sites who look at stuff like that and tear down to find it out.



Lol Microsoft will drop the price regardless. They are losing market share weekly and PS4 is getting more exclusives(mainly Japanese titles and indies but still).
