Xbox One 50 dollar cut

[darkknightkryta]

This really just confirms that XB1 was way overpriced from the start.

Nah, Microsoft is going to be losing 10-20 bucks on the BOM.  You gotta remember, the APU in the PS4 is a fair bit smaller and cheaper to manufacture than the Xbox One is and Sony is only making a small profit on each console sold.  It also remains to see if MS can get the price down even further once Sony releases their updated PS4.

I can see bundles with 2 games for 349

Yeah that'd be great.

Cheaper ps4 was released like a week ago.

So the upcoming PS-conference will include a price-drop for PS4 as well.
And then?

Yeah, I didn't word that last part right.  I was meaning to say, Sony made some optimizations to get the price of the PS4 down even further, but it remains to be seen if Microsoft can do the same.  Add to the fact that the Xbox One's APU is larger and needs more engineering to shrink, it'll probably take another year to get the cost of the Xbox down.  I.E. MS is throwing money away.

I'm hoping for another price cut before Black Friday. SUPER DEALS!
