Xbox One getting cheaper model in 2014: report

Aaron Greenberg, Chief of Staff for Devices and Studios Group at Microsoft seems to think we aren't getting a cheaper model: https://twitter.com/aarongreenberg/s...38436139745281

Unless of course he's lying, but why would he be?

A model without kinect, being $100 cheaper is better, yes.

It makes sense, because the cheaper console is selling a lot more units at the moment. I understand that they have additional hardware costs...but that is giving the opposition a sizeable advantage in terms of pricing.

Have to agree with this. While there are many people out there that are able to buy both, and show off their hardware, the vast majority of the gaming community is strapped for cash. And $100 in the states is not like R100 here. It's a fair amount of cash.

With the options available to the American market in terms of media, the xbox should actually beat the PS4 in terms of sales due to it's all roundednessness.

It's bad for there future sales,people will wait for the cheaper console there is now advantage to announce a cheaper console months before it releases.

Good point, though I know that lots of people won't want to wait to be able to play their games, so I'm sure they'd still get sales.

Well there is a little glimmer of hope at least of us getting a cheaper version but if i can get a version without a kinect i'll gladly take it
i mean the previous kinect went for R1800 in the beginning so what would this new one cost stand alone and if it can drop say 2K of the normal xbox one i'd really think of getting me one for my birthday in march instead of a new track kit

Kinect can fly a kite. I don't need it for BF4....yet.
