So desperate its obvious, why would anyone ever buy this thing anyway? i mean maybe when it's dirt cheap like when i bought the 360 for $120.
I've edited your post and made a small summary in order to post it on the front page, I hope you don't mind, obs123194! It's a cool promotion - I hope the aggressive price cut increases Xbox One sales over the course of the holiday season. It's a good system that gets a lot of flak, and with games like Halo 5 coming soon it's worth the attention now, while it's cheaper than ever.
So this isn't permanent? Damn. I was planing to buy both the PS4 and Xbox One next year.
Man are they just going to eat that cost? There is NO way they are making money on that.
It's not?
Tempting..very tempting indeed..
From the Source said:The holidays are starting early this year as the Season of Xbox will begin on November 2, when Xbox One will be available for a special, limited-time promotional offer of $349
They probably still have a small profit margin, it's not exactly advanced tech, but even if they're losing some money, that's not the point of hardware sales. Microsoft is still lagging behind Sony and Nintendo, they're missing out on software sales. The objective is to push as many units of hardware as possible so that more gamers buy software. The more consoles out there the higher the profits from licensing and Microsoft's own software sales, not to mention Xbox Live income.Man are they just going to eat that cost?

I'm a arcade racing fan and forza doesn't deliver on that note. And the other titles you mentioned aren't even Xbone exclusive. Even Ryse was ported to PC already.If you're a racing fan Forza Horizon 2 is literally the best racing game since, gawd, Burnout Paradise at least, it's that good. (I'm a racing fan!)
Dead Rising 3, whilst not the overall campness that the earlier titles were, is still a fine game..... Titanfall beats anything PS4 exclusive if you're into that sort of genre (apparently - count me out of that!) and the game list is overall arguably superior to the PS4's at the moment, and most likely will stay like that for the rest of this year at least.

I watched a review of that game that stated that Horizon isn't as arcady as other games like NFS Rivals. Even games like The Crew look more arcady to me than Horizon.Then you obviously don't even know what Horizon is laddie, we're not talking Forza Motorsport here, try playing it before commenting perhaps?
Do I sound like a Sony fanboy to you? I just use the term Xbone because of microsoft stupid name decision not because I'm hating on Xbox users for their decisions (don't get me started on Windows 10). Trust me if Xbone had enough exclusives (not timed exclusives) I would buy it however the only game so far that would make me buy a Xbone is Halo. But I don't like the idea of buying a console just for one franchise. Until then I gonna play "Xbone exclusives" on my PC.And the other titles I mentioned were because I'm talking to console gamers with my post, specifically PS4 owners - some of which (you clearly not included) might not be total fanboys.
