uk got a official price cut before any other country. throughout euro they are being heavily discounted and bundled with titanfall. the only 2 place xbox sells is uk and us, its pretty irrelevant everywhere else which is why m$ is doomed this gen because ps4 is 50/50 with x1 in uk and us (a little ahead but minor). m$ doesnt have japan, euro to fall back on if x1 losses market share in those 2 countries. x1 will not sell as much as x360, NO WAY
This was a price drop by retailers and not Microsoft. So it's not an official price cut. It's far, far, from being doomed. Everyone said the same thing about the PS3 and that was in worse shapre then the XB1 is now. I think the XB1 will be fine once Microsoft does an official price cut and releases the system without the Kinect. With all the new IP's and exclusive coming out, gamers would be foolish not to pick up a cheap XB1. The system still have over 30 countries to release in including China.

Also, where is this site getting their numbers from? Seems like another VGChart who are just making wild guesses with very little data to do on.
I am pretty sure EU got the price cut first. I know they got a 100 euro less titanfall bundle before they started popping up here.
Ok, I looked it up. The only price cut that was officially done by Microsoft was in UK and not all of Europe.

Of course they did the price cut in the U.S. as well, but that was only for 2-3 weeks. The price for the Titanfall Bundle now is back to $500 along with the original unbundled XB1. Any price cuts that were done outside of the UK in other European countries was done by their own retailers.
