Xbox One discount: price drops once more

After slashing its next generation console's price tag for the holiday season, Microsoft has decided to execute a price cut to its Xbox One console once more. The only catch is that the offer will only be applicable to consumers who are living inside the geographical boundaries of the United States, according to a Microsoft spokesperson. 

When asked how long until the promotion expires, the spokesperson stated that the company has currently not exhumed any details related to this. TechRadar reported that the representative did mention that the company will be revealing "more details," but at this present time, there has been no word on the expiration of the discounted deal. 

According to information posted by Xbox Wire, the Xbox One will be receiving a $50 discount, bringing the price of the console down to $349 once again. Microsoft has been approached on whether or not the company is going to stretch out this discounted offer to other parts of the globe or if the discount offer is going to remain permanent, but unfortunately, the company has not yet commented on either of the issues raised. 

Microsoft had a hard time in convincing the gaming community that its Xbox One console is a great product. Despite the shaky start, the company finally began to show some promise with its next generation console, as it exceeded its sales performance when pitted against the company's previous generation console, the Xbox 360. 

Phil Spencer, the head of Microsoft's Xbox division, has announced a ton of Xbox exclusives that will be released later in the year, with "Halo 5: Guardians" and "Quantum Break" being two of the most anticipated titles for 2015. The Xbox division's head also stated that Microsoft will be showing more support for PC gamers as it plans to branch out its exclusive gaming titles to the platform soon. Spencer, however, did not disclose when this change is going to take place.
