Xbox One gets a $100 price cut in China

Microsoft is slashing the price of its Xbox One console in China.

Xbox One launched into a difficult Chinese market — where a 14-year ban on consoles only recently lifted  — back in September last year. It sold 100,000 units in its first week, according to reports, but Microsoft hasn’t released any official Chinese sales figures since then. It’s now cut the price of the console for the second time in a clear effort to boost sales in what’s basically a PC- and mobile-driven market.
