This is really, really strange, this should be one of the best months for Xbox, i was expecting more Hardware sales for The Division, atleas on USA, and now they have another Price Cut, This year's focus will be VR, and Final Fantasy XV (maybe Rockstar will have a surprise for us), and Final Fantasy, aways sell more on Playstation, the Japanese version of Final Fantasy pratically out-sell the Worldwide sales of Xbox One's Version on Week 1, so will be a Tough year for Xbox's sales, i Expect the Gears of War 4's Release for be the biggest non-holiday month for Xbox One on USA.



You guys should understand a thing.
When a company make a pricedrop, is because the sales aren't good.

Back in 2014, Microsoft made the first pricedrop in June 2015. When they annunced it, was a bit before April NPD 2015, about in May 2014.

Now, what's happen in April 2015, so a bit after that pricedrop annunced? XB1 sells 115,000 in April in USA, with a 63% MOM drop compared to the 311,000 in March.
They annunced this pricedrop because the bad sales in April.

Then, November. An amazing holidays and all, but what about October? Sales are dropped massively after a strong September, and the made a pricedrop.

Now, we are in 2016, and they annunced a pricedrop... imo, if they annunced that pricedrop, is most likely because for the first half of March the sales were not that good. Maybe, most likely, The ivision did nothing for hardware, and of course, PS4 was crushing XB1 just like in January and February.

So, well... March is not gonna be a very great month for XB1. April will be even worse. And when the pricedrop promotion is over, i mean, in May... oh crap.

They need to release a slim model SOON.

They're in trouble and there's no doubt about it, but have you tried expressing that without sounding bias? OH, You did!

Maybe this is a "Timed Price Drop" just like the one Xbox had last year, i think that Xbox's Price dropped to quick, the Console was 500US$, after that they dropped to 400US$ isn't ?, in Holidays 2014, after that to 350US$ in halfway 2015, now to 300US$ in Early 2016, while Playstation 4, only had 1 Price-drop.

I Think that this much of price drop hurted the sales, was better to Heavy promote some game, than Making so much price drops, people will be like "If i want a Xbox One, i just need to wait the Next Price Drop".

I think that's what they're hoping for but it's not working. People are no longer going to rush out and buy it while it's cheap thinking it's going to go back up again. MS blew that last time they did it.
