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.”

kidcudi if the price drops in january i will pick one up.
I would bet on the price dropping around the middle of 2014. January may be a little too early seeming that the console wouldn't even be out for 2 months

Companies need profit. It cost around $369 to make a ps4. And around $465 to make an Xbox one. Microsoft will not reduce sales for a while that would be idiotic and stupid. It's like asking mcdonalds to give around 300 free burgers everyday. Profit for companies means better service and products.

KexJayden- I would buy it if they lowered the price just a little bit. For me it's still too expensive considering I've got a perfectly good Xbox 360 at the moment.
Same, I will most likely buy one when they stop supporting the Xbox 360 anyway
I will be buying one a little earlier then that, but i'll be sticking with the 360 for a while at this point

sir_grecoToqueG36cBossMan Microsoft do a price cut? Lmao that's the most redicoulus thing I have ever heard... They have so much money idk if they even care after they slapped us in the face with the drm policies that they were basically forced to remove Microsoft showed there true colors they exposed them selves for the money hungry company that doesn't give 1 $hit about its fans just the money...
Still offers more than the PS4 & it looks the exact same as the PS4 graphic wise & dare I say a decent computer. So just because it's more doesn't mean they're money hungry. They just want to make a buck or two, just like any major company on this planet
ppl also need to realize, they arent actually even making that much money on the console itself. and once the kinect is intertwined with games, it will be revolutionizing. then everyone who actually thought ps4 was gonna be better will go back to crying in a corner.
Exactly, the point of consoles isn't to make huge money off the consoles, it's to make huge money off the years of selling games & accessories with it for an extended period of time

If the PS4 does outsell The xbox it doesn't really matter because Sony are making a loss for the first 6 months anyway
