    <p>Another day, another Xbox sale. MS can sell it however they want. Customers just see the Xbox being discounted all them time now, which generally implies it maybe isn't selling as well as MS hoped. The 'One X' hasn't really helped overall sales either, not that MS actually reveal those anymore.</p>

    <p>The biggest deals ever are exactly the same as every single time. Spring, Summer, Fall, Black Friday, Christmas, all exactly the same deals.. matter of fact I think I've seen more than $10 off the controllers.</p>

    <p>Remember – as long as they have more games, more items (even if it's just by 1) on sale than ever before – then it technically is the biggest Xbox sale ever… It doesn't mean it has to be the best deals or lowest prices ever… Just the biggest amount of items on sale – hence the biggest sale ever.</p>

    <p>I have 2 original Xbox's and 8 Xbox 360s all setup for system link, do i have an Xbox One…? Nope, i have 2 PS4's instead…. Microsoft should just work on getting the next gen of console right as they have just put too many people off this generation with many mis-steps early on. </p>
