Microsoft will make a discount on Xbox One to those who throw their PlayStation 3

In the world of gaming consoles continue to rage passion. Microsoft launched a new campaign in the United States: hand over your old Sony PlayStation 3 console to the store and get a $ 100 discount on the new Xbox One.

Everyone can now take their old PS3 console to any of the more than sixty Microsoft official stores in the United States and Canada. After that, the person will receive the right to purchase the console of the new generation Xbox One for only $ 399 (the console initially costs $ 499). Tellingly, the price tag on the Japanese PlayStation 4 console is still $ 399 without any discounts, and you don’t need to take anything anywhere.

Microsoft representatives do not consider such a commercial offer to be something dishonest in terms of doing business. From their point of view, this is quite a profitable option to change the console of the previous generation to a new, more powerful console with a surcharge of just $ 399. The only condition for the promotion: the Playstation 3 must be fully operational. It is not entirely clear what is waiting for those consoles that will be exchanged for a $ 100 discount. Let's hope that representatives of Microsoft will not roll them into a bulldozer at a dump outside the city limits, but simply will play in the Sony console in secret from senior management.

We remind you that according to unofficial data, 3.4 million Xbox One and 4.9 million Playstation 4 have been sold to date. The platform holders in the person of Sony and Microsoft very rarely share real sales figures. For example, Microsoft recently boasted that about 4 million consoles were sold, but in fact it turned out that 800,000 consoles are still gathering dust on the shelves of large retail chains, while PS4 is hard to find in almost every country where its sales started. . So believe after that corporate officials.

This promotion will last until March 2, 2014, so if you have the opportunity to visit a Microsoft store in the US or Canada, keep it in mind. By the way, do you think, our dear readers, is the separation from the Playstation 3 console worth a discount of $ 100 for a new Microsoft console?
