The Xbox One game console is expected to cost less this year according to Trusted Reviews.
"It is possible that Microsoft will reduce Xbox One pricing far faster than we have forecasted," Michael Pachter, an industry analyst at Wedbush Morgan told Trusted Reviews.
The current Xbox One costs $429, and is now expected to cost similar to Sony's Playstation 4 $399.99 to $449 game console.
"Should hardware prices come down faster than we have modeled, it is likely that hardware and software sales will grow faster," Pachter told Trusted Reviews.
The Xbox One has an improved kinect sensor, which enables players to operate the device just by talking. Individuals can also connect the console to their satellite television equipment in order to watch TV, and flip back and forth between gaming, and viewing shows USA Today reported.
