Yes - I get the fact that prices drop over time. But not usually next-gen consoles within 3 months of launch. I guess technically it's not a price drop, however, rather adding a $60 value AAA title. Consumers in the US getting doubly hosed as US launch units did not include any game, whereas most users in Europe got a copy of FIFA14 included. Don't even get me started on the fact of how aggravating it's been for years where consoles get sold with no software - since... SNES? Can't recall if the NES came with Super Mario Bros or not. I was an Intellivision guy & I know that came with Poker & Blackjack.
Anyways, I get why they're doing it. It's selling well, but not PS4 well. Thing is, back in the spring when both Sony & MS had their reveals, and then announced their price points... MS must have lost the coin toss because they had to announce first. Then Sony got to tapdance all over it with a price $100 cheaper. For the better part of 5 months Xbox fans kept pleading with MS that the price was too high, & we held out hope that they would indeed come to their senses & relent. But they held strong & kept saying "Nooope. XBone has the mandatory Kinect hardware, thus necessitating the higher price. Not to mention, just look at the pre-order sales!"
Now 3 months down the road, they're basically admitting "yeah, maybe the price is too high". And it's not like the early adapters have really gotten much other than 3 months of use. At least it's not horribly buggy. The voice commands could use some polishing & the party chat system kinda sucks, but that's getting fixed this month. Titanfall is the first substantial release since launch (unless you count Thief I guess), and there's a few more decent titles in the next few months.
Look, as I said, I know prices drop over time. Just aggravating to have it be so soon. This is the first console I've bought at launch, hell the first ANYTHING I've bought on release day. It will most probably be the last.
