Xbox One: “Microsoft loses the next generation unless they cut price,”
It follows Pachter’s disbelief at why Nintendo President Satoru Iwata still had a job.
Speaking with GI.biz, Pachter said, “The reason Sony beats Microsoft is solely the price. Microsoft loses the next generation unless they cut price. If Microsoft drops its price to $399, I expect the sales to be equal to the PS4.”
That’s a short-term fix however, but what about the long-term? Pachter commented on sales projections that state both PS4 and Xbox One will out-sell their predecessors, “I don’t know where they get those numbers. I don’t think you’re ever going to see 500 million consoles out there. The next generation of consoles is probably the last. We expect frequent model updates instead of new consoles. I think the PC is going to make a comeback, the PC will be the hub of all this stuff.”

I don't think they will drop the prices because too many xbox one owners will complain

If you search up fact pubs they cant lower the cost for one reason and one reason only,It cost 479 to buy it otherwise they wouldnt make a profit. The PS4 cost $400 and it cost $382 to make so Sony get a $18 profit. But if read in the near future possibly in January and Febuary they will make a new Xbox One bundle deal that drops the Kinect. If you dont have the Kinect by the way your loosing over 20+ features Skype and the brand new Snap Mode the Kinect 2.0 isnt bad the 1st Kinect was though...

Kex I wonder if they will actually drop the price then
I doubt they could afford to.
It costs $471 to make, they would have to find a cheaper way to make it if they wanted to be able to make a price cut.

I love that people are treating this statement that as if it was a fact.
It was an opinion.

THCv3 I know that it cost a lot to make them, but still won't be buying one till its cheaper. Throw away that gay **** Kinect and I may buy one.
You don't realise how good and useful the Kinect is until you use it

AmazingHD-TwoChainz It costs them a lot to make the consoles though. They would be spending more money making the consoles than they are selling, and that would be a loss in profit. Ignorant.
Does not cost them a lot to make the consoles. Manufacturing is like 1/3 of the price lol
You obviously have no clue what you are talking about. Microsofts Xbox One costs bout $471 to make, compared to $381 for the PS4. Do your research before you make false statements.
