Except if you know econ 101, you'd suggest that same reason for the price drop.

whats the reason for any retailers n the world to make a price cut?

it can only mean that they cant move those units and dont spect to sell them tha 500 anytime soon so better start cutting the price now and see what happens

what wii u price cuts meant for wii u?

what the total absense of price cuts mean for the ps4?

ps. i have zero intention of buying a ps4, maybe a wii u

Nintendo decided the price cut.

Now,this is a single retailer doing it. Maybe they want to get some more sales?

And why would they do a price cut for the PS4 when Sony can barely get enough stock produced

I think you're learning something about supply and demand.

Not even close. I just know what something is worth to me. X1 is not worth a penny over 400.

Grow up now, ok?

It's quite a bit more than $400 with taxes.

When your competition is the 1337 PS4 you have to lower your price to be even noticed.

Many people that are rich or well off are that way because they know how to properly manage their finances and avoid frivolous purchases

Well it took Sams Club like 4 months to before they cut the WiiU price after launch. Congrats XB1 you beat Nintendo to the clearance isle.

You can have a good job, but if you don't manage your finances properly it's pretty easy to end up broke

Honestly do you really think a $100 decision over 8 years will send someone broke?

If $100 (over 8 years) is the deciding factor, for someone that likes gaming, well....they are poor.

I spent that on drinks over the weekend FFS. Now if youre talking about buying a $100,000 vs a $50,000 car, or overpaying for a house or over extending on a mortgage.....well that's different.

Thankfully my wife and I have very good jobs. I appreciate your concern over my personal financial life, though.

I spent a lot this weekend as well on drinks as well. Way too much, but it was 15 of us, so we made the best of it, lol. Got called on stage to help sing songs with the local band, lol. It was a blast!!! :)

Speaking of which, I assume by your posts you own a 360 and are considering, if not already own an Xbone, but...

Do you own a Wii U, PS4, 3DS, a few gaming PCs, and a Vita? What about last gen hardware like Wii, DS, PSP, PS3, etc? What kind of sunglasses do you wear, what about wrist watch? How many HDTVs and AVRs do you own, and would you consider them all high end? How many smartphones do you own? Car? House? Refrigerator? Other high end appliances?

I know you're having fun, but that just searches the local stores to see if they're in stock....none where I am.
