PS4 will probably get a cut, XBO should probably get a cut, and wii u would like a cut.

Predict exact dates of price cut announcement, price cut amount, and exact date the price cut goes into effect. Doing US primarily since it's the market most of us know the best, but you can also predict additional markets if you wish.


The closest person for each system will get a special prize!

Wow you're guessing pretty soon for PS4. I guess that target page may be a clue.

I honestly have no idea, so complete guesses:

27th October PS4 (PGW), effective next day

23rd October XB1, effective 27th October (Halo 5 launch) lasts until January like last year

WiiU no announcement, I think they'll wait for a big event

So... They will announce the temporary drop 14 days after it already happened. No wonder MS is having problems this gen. They keep trying to do everything from the future.

25th!!!

@PGW

Why would they do it the day after Halo and all ms bundles release?

Because winning November and December is the end game. Completely end any hype of halo 5 by dropping the price and releasing the two mega bundles for 399, November would be totally in the bag. They have a good chance at October without the price cut anyway

The Halo bundle, the kinect bundle, and the ori-gears-rr bundle all launch on the 27th. That single day will have a HUGE amount of sales and generate a HUGE amount of momentum going into the holidays. Lessening that impact seems more realistic than stopping the momentum once started.
