Xbox One getting cheaper model in 2014: report

Most likely this would be the rumoured "discless" model? How else would they be able to drop the price so quickly?
 
Who knows, maybe SA skips out on the initial model and goes for the "slim" But then again, it's been awhile since I've seen pigs fly.

Knowing SA, we will not even see the Slim models anytime soon.. Still like 7 months left before the initial model hits our shores! Recently bought myself an xbox 360 250gb slim that sits under my PS3 :love:
 
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.

i would say redesign of the pcb, but that already looks like its efficient in its design. i agree probably the drive being phased or a reduction in ports, removal of wifi or the hdmi pass through etc.
 
Judging by the PS3's legacy, it appears that the Xbox One is not very attractive.

Then again, at the moment the PS4 isn't either. Charge R2999.00 and then I will be interested.

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
