Why Microsoft Needs to Keep The XBOX One Price at $349.99

MVGN writes "Currently Microsoft’s latest home console is retailing for $349.99. Ever since the XBOX One has dropped to that aggressive price, the system has been selling out at retail stores across the nation. Every time we enter a retail store, we notice that the system is now sold out and seems to be a general trend since the big price drop."

They need to keep it at that price to be competitive with the Ps4.

raWfodog3475d ago

Agreed. They either need to keep it at $349 OR continue to offer at least one (if not two) free games if they raise the price back to $399. But I think that if they keep it at $349 and continue to gain market share here in the US, then that will force Sony to lower their price for the PS4 to match the XB1 in order to remain competitive.

Either way is good for me. Getting my PS4 this holiday so the XB1 will hopefully still be a very good deal when I'm ready to buy it next year.

MrBeatdown3476d ago

They won't go back up to $400. Calling it a limited time offer is just a ploy to get people to buy now rather than wait.

Come next year, Microsoft will come up with some spin to make it sound like they're keeping the $350 price as a result of listening to their fans.

IWentBrokeForGaming3476d ago

It's "Limited" only to make the end of the year quota!

annoyedgamer3476d ago

This is a common marketing ploy.

Paytaa3476d ago

Microsoft having the $50 price difference is a huge selling point. I love my Xbox One and do prefer it over my PS4 but I won't deny the fact that if they keep it at $400 that it will be a shot in the foot. They have already gathered in a ton of people due to the new price and it'd be in their best interest to keep the price below the PS4 in order to stay competitive. As long as MS can keep the great games coming, keeping the price competitive, and continue with the constant updates I believe they will do just fine even if they sell less than Playstation.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Needs 60FPS Update Before GTA 6 Arrives

Bawal from Tech4Gamers writes "Red Dead Redemption 2 is still incredibly popular today, and it's a shame it hasn't received a 60FPS upgrade for consoles yet."

Kind of wonder why they can't release a patch for 60fps. I don't expect a native ps5 just a patch to allow the original PS4 version run at 60 on ps5. They did it for the red dead redemption remaster.

Cacabunga13h ago

I just got the platinum a few weeks ago.. I would replay the whole main story in 60FPS if this happens.

ocelot0711h ago

I tried forcing my self to play it on ps5 recently and the 30fps killed it for me I just can't do it.

Played the pc online version and it was just a joy playing it at 1440p 80+ FPS.

isarai19h ago

It needs far more than 60fps, better resolution, fix the trash checkerboard rendering that somehow makes 1440p look worse than 1080p, fix the input lag, and fix the wack HDR implementation.

sagapo19h ago

Yeah, the HDR is terrible, made me wonder why the dev’s even bothered.

isarai16h ago

The fact that they've been called out on it by several sources and still haven't done a thing. It's just ridiculous

anast18h ago

The game looks great on my PS5 and PC monitor. You might need to update your gear.

isarai16h ago

Everything i said is proven, documented and demonstrated by several sources including Digital Foundry. I have a $3k 4k lg OLED, and ive been professionally calibrating displays for over a decade. It aint me or my equipment

anast15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

It's too far away from trash. It looks great on my setup. It has to be your equipment or your perception or you enjoy being hyperbolic.

isarai15h ago

@anast

Learn to read, you're talking in circles.

anast15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

This is a common trend with you. You seem to not understand the words you are typing. But unlike you, I am not gifted enough to make judgments on the level of your literacy.

"Fix the trash" is being hyperbolic. At least, now we know what the problem is. It's not your equipment or Digital Foundry skewing your perception.

isarai15h ago

You seem to not understand how to read an entire sentence which seems to be the common trend with you. How about you quote the entire statement. "Fix the treash checkerboard rendering" which, yeah if it makes 1440p look worse than 1080p it's somehow not just failing to do it's only job, but actually making things worse. It would be better off thrown out....like trash. Hell even Digital Foundry reccomends forcing a 1080p output over 1440p for a clearer image, and even just made a new video like a week ago bringing up that problematic soft checkerboard rendering again.

All of which you can gather by my very first response to you, that you somehow respond to, but don't actually comprehend. It's like if i told you "hey here's $5 for you a coffee" you would respond "ok but i need a coffee and don't have any money" you ask the question to the answers you're currently replying to, can you not read? Do you not know how to fact check? Do search bars, google, and YouTube not exist for you? Figure it out, you're a whole ass human im not going to walk you through how to use your own damn brain.

sagapo14h ago

Anast, I’ve played Red Dead on my LG oled, it looked better with HDR turned off. The fact however that Gran Turismo in HDR looks superb on the same screen pretty much says it all. HDR in Red Dead is broken.

Rockstar's gonna do jack s*** about it

Profchaos17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

I've been waiting for this since getting my ps5 I don't think it's a big ask the game sold 32 million copies plus.

There's already homebrew out there to achieve this on modded consoles.

Knowing Rockstar they probably want to release a native version but will delay it over and over like GTA v which didn't need a native port tbh a 60fps patch would of been fine.

I predict however were more likely to get GTA IV remastering ported to PS4/5/switch same as rdr

PhillyDonJawn17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

Heck ya Game of the generation
