Microsoft has announced the first official price drop for the Xbox One in the UK of 429 pounds to 399 pounds, in a clear attempt to overtake the PlayStation 4. Does this mean we will be seeing a price drop in other regions?
Currently, the company has confirmed that this discount does not apply in other regions, at least they will not imminently. Egale Harvey, director of marketing for the company in the UK, explained to OXM website that “their is no announcement planned for other countries.” However, there are reasons to believe that sooner or later this will occur, especially after seeing the figures of both console.
Specifically, PlayStation 4 accumulates a total of 5.4 million units while the new Xbox has just reached 3.5 million. In fact, in British territory of the console has lost control of the Xbox brand in countries such as Spain and the distance is devastating, to the point that the PS4 sold five times more consoles then the Xbox One
Therefore, many believe that the reduction in some areas is essential. We do not know whether it will be in the coming months or if they are wait to see how the launch of Titanfall will be.
What do you think of the price drop would you like to see this happen in the US?
