Earlier this week, a flurry of leaks suggested, among other juicy details, that Microsoft is on track to release a new, cheaper Xbox One model in 2014. Now a new source has corroborated to VG247 that Microsoft is looking to release an Xbox One model for less than the machine's current $499 price point.
The "senior source" could not confirm rumors that the machine would lose its Blu-ray drive and feature a Bluetooth adapter, however.
Additionally, the source said that Microsoft will drop the price of the current Xbox One revision to $399--or the same price as Sony's PlayStation 4.
Other Microsoft rumors that have emerged this week say that the company is working on releasing a white Xbox One console. As for games, the leaker claims that Halo 5 will be coming in 2015 while Halo 2 Anniversary will be released this year, and that Crackdown 3 is going to be announced at E3 2014.
Microsoft has said to GameSpot that it does not comment on rumor and speculation.

I have a feeling there's a cheaper PS4 coming too.
-
Crackdown 3 ftw ... ? a new console that need to update the one that's out

Was just thinking about this yesterday, I was at the GameStop store and seen 1 PS4 and on the other side a full stock of XB1s. Guess they didn't count on the price b/w the 2 being such a big factor.
Eventually it'll happen I just didn't anticipate it'd happen so soon.
Its not even just the price.The PlayStation brand is just more popular and the XBox does not have the advantages it had last generation as I said before.Tons of X1s on Amazon while the PS4 just sold out again after a week n stock ...damn. -

PS4s were in the store but they are sold out again. They never last.

Yea, them hoes all over the DFW. -
The only PS4 I've ever seen in a store was guy returning one at Best Buy because someone got him one for Christmas and he didn't know it. The person in the returns line heard and bought it right there.
I don't get it. What's the rush? I don't know how Sony did it, but I applaud them. It takes a lot of something to create this much demand for a game system that doesn't even have any games. -
LOL. Of course the PS4 is available everywhere. Only Sony fanboys live in this fantasy world where the PS4 has Wii like demand and its always "sold out", yet still lost December's NPD to XBOX.
The PS4 is available in way more countries, so the shipments are just spread more thin compared to XBOX. So even though both are readily available everywhere, you will see more XBOX's around. Its not rocket science. -
