thanks for taking your time with sharing the data! :) just one question what's that "ps4 fool's edition"? it had something to do with april fool's or something? 

People were still buying it even when there were bundles at the same price with a game, so I dubbed it Fool's Edition.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Because it's not the best offer at all. I think it's the same price as COD BO III Bundle.

Can't wait to see Ratchet & Clank's reviews.

It's the standard non-bundled PS4. It's called the Fool's Edition because some people still seem to buy it, even when there's a bundle that has the same price.

I mean, there's no way this is a pr stunt to get people on the fence to rush out and buy on Xbox this April, right? Right?

end the promotion and go back to $349 for may and early june.
announce xb1 slim revision at e3 and make the clearance price $299 again. (maybe 50 bucks lower, depending on the slim entry pricepoint)

some1 want to bet on that?
im 100% certain :D

PS4 might be 299$ once the PS4k launches.

I dont think the Xbox One is staying 299$ for long, it ll be 249$ if the PS4 drops to 299$.

Another price drop within a Year ?, i don't think that they can afford that, only if they have a Slim Version, they are still selling well, and are making profit with Hardware.

I'm not sure if MS should or even wants to engage in a price war. So they're stuck in second place this generation even in their best market. They should accept that and keep the XBO at a profitable price point, issuing permanent price cuts when they can afford to and doing temporary ones only during the holidays. In fact, like I've been saying, they should have waited until they could release a slim model for $300, or even $250 if it was profitable to do so.

Yeah, at this pace the Wii U, will be more expensive than a Xbox One, even after NX's Launch.
