Perhaps. Although I wouldn't be shocked if Microsoft has incentivized some sales by offering volume bonuses or something like that to retailers to make a big opening splash. Maybe Newegg can dump excess game inventory and also earn sales bonuses from Microsoft at the same time. I'm sure the last thing Microsoft wants is to get outsold by PS4 in the month of August. That would be catastrophic. Even close sales numbers will look bad.
What? That makes no sense. Newegg fears being stuck with a brand new item? If they did, they just wouldn't have ordered them.
If you know a way to know actual demand ahead of time, we could make a lot of money together.
MS wants to keep the price at certain price points for many reasons, but might incentivize the backend for retailers to move for of the product. If MS drops the price, they can't raise it back up without major problems. If they incentivize the backend, they can take away those incentives and no one will know. Also, incentives give retailers the freedom to have more flexibility with how they incentivize purchases (i.e. dumping off old stock of inventory games, etc.). Perhaps Best Buy, Gamestop, etc. aren't pushing sales harder because they are comfortable with their numbers, weren't incentivized as well, or simply want to make more of a profit than Newegg.
actually its easy to get the gamestop values just goto gamestop.com and press "trade values" on top and it gives them for you right there..i think gamestop is giving close to $20 for quantum break last i checked
I'd say it's selling ok although I also see that many people are probably like me who still have yet to buy an XB1 and has no time for it with PS4 and Wii U. I like the XB1 it's just with economic conditions so bad I could never justify putting down hundreds on something that would get played very little & primarily catch dust as my Wii U has been doing more than I care to admit. Heck, I still have a couple of hundred games on PS3, 360, and Wii I want to get to but can't for PS4, NES, and PS2. Gaming market is just so saturated & these big titles like No man's sky and GTA V which are basically games one can play for years are not helping that any.
It has nothing about predicting the future. Your theory defied logic.
It has everything to do with predicting the future. But I've ceded the argument. Newegg is just giving away hundreds of dollars worth of games because they're a swell company.
I didn't receive the console yet (think tracking said Tues), but I can confirm that today I received Doom only in a bubble mailer. So there's hope that yours shipped out like that as well.
I think so, looks like you can get an average of $20 per game on Amazon, coupled with no tax outside California, the free Kinect adapter if you have Kinect, and eBay bucks.. it is going to be tough to match this deal even on black Friday. Just wish I would have got the eBay bucks promotion to really make this a deal.
Stop wasting people's time.http://www.ebay.com/itm/xBox-One-S-2TB-Console-Six-Siege-Metal-Gear-Solid-V-Division-Dishonored-/152203642633?
Who wants to try it?
Edit: Never mind, it's already been taken down. It was the Xbox One S 2TB Console w/ Siege, MSGV, The Division and Dishonored for $32. lol. I ordered one like a fool so wish me luck
You be calling ebay soon, its a fake, happens all the time. I always see PS4 for that cheap too and just know its a scam.http://www.ebay.com/itm/xBox-One-S-2TB-Console-Six-Siege-Metal-Gear-Solid-V-Division-Dishonored-/152203642633?

But seriously wannabe internet forum sheriff, don't.
what you do on the forums. See ritchard's note above. You're just driving up prices with your stupid "oh well I'm protected by eBay/PayPal derrrr" thinking.
Really? Cause it seems like you do. And I hate to break the news to you, but I already got my refundI don't give a
It'd be kind of funny if eBay said "sorry, not gonna refund you due to stupidity."
Are they saying same thing about the other white systems (1 and 1.5TB)? Sounds like those are sticking around as the basic model and will keep updating the 2TB to whatever the hottest game out is.
Yeah it appears that the 2TB model will be used as their premium line until Scopio comes out.. so limited launch edition, Gears Special Edition, and whatever other premium models they think of that will get a limited run.
Or I'll just tell myself that to be happy
