My guess would be 249$.

At a 100$ differnce between it and the PS4, it ll sell enough to put up a good fight.

I actually agree with him and said and thought the same thing he just said on the very first price cut/free goodies.  It was so short after launching it came off strange and while I can't prove it I think it can negatively impact brand perception in people's mind.   

Who knows if it did but I had that thought when this started which was what, around titanfall?  

Wasn't this price already effective for almost a year?

More or less yeah, some retailers were doing bundles of games, I think in the article about this cut on the front page someone mentioned a $309 deal for a 1TB X1 along with an extra controller and about 3-4 games with it so yeah... I'm not sure this is going to make too many people "Jump in"

The only people I see jumping to it is the ones that don't research... they had 400 or 350 official pricetag on their mind (never seeing that even outside of BF there were multiple instances of buying X1 for less or "effective less" than 300,00) and now with official price at 300,00 they will be aware and buy. Or that with official pricetag at 300 there are more room for even more aggressive bundles... but all that won't really put a dent in PS4 lead.

I think anyone who pays attention could have gotten a better deal this year ultimately.  Amazon just ran a crazy deal where they gave away 5 games, a controller and a gift card or something didn't they?

If I were in USA I would probably took that bait.

Yes, when it cost as much as the 360 did right before the Xb1 launch, i say that is very consumer friendly. I still don't trust it, and so far based on everything MS have done the last two years, with PC and all that, cancelations of 2 games within 2 month's.. Yeah, you know... All the warnings we have had so far, there are so many now, it's hard for me to actually trust my money on it.. Also since they are now forcing people to upgrade to Win10 with a some sort of Virus, upgrading it when we are not even homer. They have worked hard for our trust! I do not want this to happen at all, but as long as the warning bells are up and singing, i will wait it out like i did with the Ps3, didn't regret it, i didn't have to deal with all the BS for the first years on a piece of shit i paid 600$ for.

I hope this does some good to the console.

It wont.

Xbox One has had so many deals that lowered the price to around 299$, or came with value (extra stuff) that put it well below 299$.

I dont think the impact will be very noticeable.
