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.”

Wisc they should really lower the price... I think im going to stick with xbox 360 for a while.
I could see them lowering the price some time in 2014. It is a little too high for many people to afford it

The Pc gaming is starting to slowly creep back up and The xbox ones price is being dissed and complained about ever since we heard it.

Pretty sure they called it the One for exactly that reason, it's an all-in-one device. Movies, music, tv, gaming, internet etc. The whole point of it is to be like a pc but without all the extra bits, aimed at the casual pc gamer to tempt them over really.

Will it costs them $471 to make one. I think they should drop Kinect, but still have it as a bundle for the existing consoles or for people that want it.

Recess I think the price is pretty expensive, perhaps lowering the prices will make more sales, but not that many more.
Yea I was thinking this to if they lower the prices they wont really get that many more sales

I dont think it will make that big of a difference but it will be better if it goes down $100

Ova Honestly whether or not they cut the price doesn't matter to me. I'm buying both the ps4 and the xbox one regardless.
Many people aren't really worried about the prices of the consoles.. i would personally prefer prices to be cut down a little but it isn't essential for me to buy one of the current generation consoles

What would be the clincher is the release of exclusive titles and quickly. Well at least some more games its looking very dull at the moment.
Xbox one only shows Thief in Febuary and UFC in May. And Watch Dogs plus Titan fall but no concrete dates. That's pretty rubbish.
and only Titan Fall is exclusive.
