Forums - Gaming - Will MS drop the price of the X1 next week?

Mr Puggsly on 11 October 2015

I dont anticipate a price cut, but maybe there will be a $299 X1 for Black Friday.

Dont need too as xbox is doing fine. Only sony fanboys think otherwise. There will be black friday deals like always and i am 100% sure microsoft will take the holidays again just like they always do.

Irony at its finest!

*looks at avy*

Clearly shows which side you're on so i am not surprised. 

Anyways, MGS is not tied to Sony/Playstation anymore buddy. 

PS: notice how i did not say MGS was always sony exclusive because i am sure you probably thought about that. 

Contradiction at its finest!

How did the price cut catch M$ off guard when they've been expecting Sony to pull the trigger on a price cut for awhile now?

I don't think M$ needs to drop the price of the X1 just yet, both the 500GB and 1TB models are now the same price as the corresponding PS4 models, and with the holiday bundles / Black Friday deals incoming consumers will be getting more bang for their buck. I think M$ sticks with the current price format through the holidays, and then sometime next year gives the X1 another permanent $50 price drop, most likely when the "slim" models are set for release.

I think the timing caught them off guard, not the actually price cut.

Well M$ had to have known Sony was going to do it sometime before Halo 5 dropped in order to steal some of their thunder.  It's possible that Sony may have originally planned to drop the price later in the month, but M$ forced their hand with the comments they made last month about expecting a price drop from Sony.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Cut it out, both of you.

 

OT:

I think if they drop the price this year, it will likely be after Halo, heading into the holiday season. A lot of people will buy Xbox One's for Halo, why give up that profit?

Clearly Microsoft expected a Sony price cut - they'll have a plan in place.
