Microsoft offering 100$ off xbone when you trade in PS3....
- Thread starter ak22
- Start date
This console launch seems a lot worse...maybe it's because the PS3 wasn't out when the 360 launched.
Why would you say this?
Just stop, you are getting cringe worthy.
What you've said is completely different, this is MS doing trade ins on a competitors product not their own at a time both are going head to head.
Right...so if it was sony saying "bring in your 360 and we will give you $100 PSN credit"...what would you be saying?
Sony did it for competitors as well, how is it different?...Sony competing so making offers, they where in the UK as well.
Whats different?
Panasonic done it, Sanyo, Canon, Fuji etc...what different?..christ..even Printers where doing it at one point.
Bring in a older competitors stuff and we give you a brand spanking new one of ours...they way you write you think MS are the firs tot do this and that the XO is making them bankrupt.
I haven't said anywhere that MS are going to go bankrupt. The XB1 will still do well but MS just need to stop the desperate attempts that aren't going to work against the competitors superior console and price.
Sony do trade ins for a scrappage scheme to help the customer out, getting rid of an old TV for example costs money if it won't sell.

Its not "depserate!" stop saying that, lots of companies in the past have done this, across just about every product that has a plug on it, and I have seen it first hand...it works. Like I said, this isnt some new tactic, every big name electronics company has ran identical offers in their life time.
And remember, this is US only..US...where the XO is king ( not as much but its still the most popular) if you are one of the fewer to own a PS3 in Northern America, you are more likely to want to go for this.
It is desperate and I'm desperately sad you can't seem to accept that.
Nobody said it was a new tactic, but comparing consoles with other electronics just isn't the same.
There's hundreds of models of TV's and cameras. There's 2 next gen consoles competing....

Hahaha brilliant
Yes, trying to increase the gap in their main territory to make figures look better than they are on the whole.
I absolutely agree, but I think this has made a lot of people get on the defensive pre emptively when a lot of the posts made are just non biased people wanting to discuss.
You're taking it too personally then and this is the problem with a lot of people. This odd almost tribal mentality when it comes to what side of the fence you're on. It's actually bewildering.
I'm not Sony's biggest fan, I have big gripes with the PS4 but it's no secret that MS have conducted themselves poorly from the get go. People won't forget the 180's they did on everything and the BS about 'cloud' yada yada. This is why it may seem 'everyone' is having a go, some of it is jsut childish fanboyism (I made that word up) a lot is just neutrals venting frustration at the circus that has been the XB1 so far.
I have no doubt they will overcome a lot of the problems in time but the early damage was done.
It was far worse last time, years of breaking down the prices because MS didn't have wifi bundled and blue ray.
The target has just flipped this time. This forum was so very pro MS and 360 last time.
