Xbox One: 10 Biggest Mistakes Microsoft Have Made So Far
7. That Initial Price Point
Considering the fact that the whole reason for the Xbox One being more expensive than the PS4 was because of the forced inclusion of the Kinect, costing was easily one of the most shortsighted mistakes Microsoft made.
One of the most important things that a console needs to do with its price point is make it seem like a worthwhile purchase. The Xbox One skated the line with this and went over the expected amount for a console in the new generation.
Although Microsoft have managed to reduce the price of the Xbox One a considerable amount, it's a missed opportunity that can't ever be undone.
PlayStation even managed to use this to their advantage, gaining positive attention from having a lower price point. When you're essentially giving your opponent the upper hand from the start, it's definitely one of your bigger mistakes as a company.
