Microsoft offering 100$ off xbone when you trade in PS3....

MS will have to come down on price at some point, it might mean dropping Kinect from the bundle. £430 is far too expensive for the casual gamer, they will be the first to drop too because they are the most expensive. Nothing to do with desperation.

There was massive ridicule for Sony and the PS3, who remembers giant enemy crabs & Riiiidge Racer? No rumble in the controller, George Foreman Grill, higher pricepoint, hell the first mock ups of the PS3 controller were offensive enough!

Now the shoe is on the other foot and suddenly nobody can take it?

Sony got a bit too big for their boots last time around and ate humble pie, this time its Microsoft's turn.

Most sensible post in this thread.
 
jimferno makes a very good point but unlike PS3 and 360 the new consoles are basically the same hardware but one them is substantially more powerful while also being cheaper. The power difference between PS3 and 360 was negligible and yes the PS3 cost more but it was also a pretty good Blu Ray player.

I know at some point I'll have to give in and buy an xbone in order to play exclusives but I'd rather not, the xbone offers me nothing over my PS4, Wii U and PC accept a handful of exclusives and no way am I spending over £300 for one and then it will have to come with everything it currently does.

Meh you really do seem to have issues.

If MS reduce the price as Sony will do eventually with the PS4 then so be it, I fully expect the price to drop and knew this when I bought it as is the case with the majority of things I buy.

Not at all.

Of course the price is going to drop eventually but doing it so early if they do just shows they priced it wrong.
 
Well would you rather they just refused to admit they got it wrong, or lower the price?

Seems like they are never going to please you anyway so why do you care what they do?

I am sure they dropped the price of the original Xbox pretty quickly as well, and gave early adopters a free game or two to compensate.
