How would a Xbox one price drop make you feel?

A lot of people makes the point about removing the kinect and selling the xbox one for 399 to bring it in line with the ps4. That is pretty much to say that microsoft feels like the kinect v2 is worth 100$ but like someone wrote in a post I seen is what if MS was just greedy and felt like 499$ was justified. I know myself when they removed DRM and 24 hour check ins I canceled me ps4 preorder and preordered the xbox one cause I just like the xbox games a little more at the time. Thinking most people would be happy to see the policies go most people were pissed and still hated MS for even suggesting them. So my question is if they dropped the price before launch would the same thing happen and people would be pissed again?

that's what i'm waiting for.

Going to be completely honest, it wouldn't matter at all to me.  The biggest problem I have with X1 is knowing that MS doesn't support their systems with a variety of high quality content throughout the generation.

 Look at the 369 this year, look at it since 2009, look at how they abandoned the original Xbox.  Once MS has made money off you MS no longer cares about the investment you made in their product.

 Over the specs and any other nitpick, this is the biggest factor in why or why not to buy the console.

I would be pissed because I have already paid for mine. Now if they wanna refund me $100 or whatever than sure.

My mind's already set with PS4/Wii U. Based on the past gen, Microsft's console was pretty much identicle to sony's but with fewer and less interesting excusives. Then there's the whole trust thing... A price drop would make no difference to me.

It would make me feel like I still dont want to buy one.

Like MS is backpedaling as they have been & always will be to make the X1 more like PS4. 

If they drop it to 400 it would make me feel like getting one

Indifferent. :|

Even if the price was 100 dollars, it still wouldn't be worth it.Suppaman100

It would STILL make me want a PS4 - I just personally prefer the games variety and exclusives on Sony's platform.

Even at $100 more the X1 is a way better deal than the PS4. The X1 has way more hardware and features than the PS4. If I bought a PS4 I would feel like I was getting robbed.

If they drop the spycam, and make it 299... I'll think about it.

I still don'y understand why people are complaining about the price when how many years ago they were paying $600 for the PS3JetB1ackNewYear

because that is cows weapon to attack xbox which i think is stupid,if you don't like a system then don't buy it simple as that

that's what i'm waiting for.

The same as I do now.

It would be more then worth it. Definitely worth more then your bias comments. lol!

I think Microsoft's best play would be to include a voucher for a free game.  Including a game with the console and including the Kinect brings it a lot closer to the PS4.thegroveman

Don't really care since I am only getting one console this generation.

Why should a revolutionary and far superior system bring its price down? Xbox One is next generation entertainment and gaming. PoS4 is a overpriced PS3.5

That would be nice.

You do remember that there was a $500 model available as well, right?  And how well did it work for Sony starting at $500?

the only reason for Microsoft to lower the price is to appeal to the casuals (which is obviously very important).. they have to appeal to those people who are going to make their buying decision right there in Wal-Mart, looking at a $499 Xbox One vs a $399 PS4.. the people on these boards have probably already made up their minds for the most part, so from a business standpoint there is little reason to drop the price for us.. even looking through this thread, the majority of people are saying that a pricecut wouldnt sway them from a PS4 anyway, so why should Microsoft drop the price?.

Its going to come down to marketing. If they can get the casual consumer to want to pay a $100 extra for the Kinect 2.0 "bundle", then really the problem is solved. If they can explain to the customer that "hey the PS4 is cheaper, but it doesnt have Kinect. The Xbox One comes with Kinect packed in", then they would be taking steps in the right direction.. especially since at its core, the Kinect is aimed at the casual market anyway.. that being said, hopefully since the Kinect 2 will be bundled with every XB1, developers will find natureal ways for it to enhance gameplay for hardcore players as well..

It all comes down to marketing and whether or not Microsoft can properly convey that message..

I'll be waiting until the consoles have been out at least a year before I bother buying one. 

A price drop now wouldn't make me go out and get it at launch. 

dont care how much it cost... if it comes with kinect I'm not buying it.

:lol:

microsoft could give it to me for free and all id do with it is sell it on with a big mark up at launch.

A cheaper price and no Kinect required? Then I'd be more inclined to pick one up sooner but wouldn't be this year or maybe not even next year.

So far, Microsoft's lineup of games has been really underwhelming in my opinion. Only ones I really care about are Below, D4, Project Spark, Quantum Break, and Sunset Overdrive. That's it.

However, Below is an indie title so it'll probably head to PC eventually, D4 sounds light on the gameplay (so I'll just watch the story on youtube), Project Spark is coming to 360/PC  Quantum Break will probably head to PC like Alan Wake did and after the lukewarm reception Fuse received, I'm worried about Sunset Overdrive no matter how good it looks.

There's still more to unveil (e.g. Black Tusk's Studio's project) so we'll see.
