would be the dumbest move any company would have done this gen... unless they are losing per each pro and arcade model sold and they made the money back on the elite so now they are dropping elites price they cant afford the losses, I don't see this happening at all.

nintendo did it in the UK, and overall they were making bilions profits.


You're wrong. What Nintendo did was adjust for the currency exchanges.

which raised the price.

Then in September they'll cut the price back to what it currently is and sell a shitload of 360s.

Nobody ever doubt Microsoft's business skills again.

So how is MS gonna convince the Sony loving Europeans to choose a €199 X360 Arcade without a HDD, over a €299 PS3 Slim with a large HDD and Blu-ray?

Or maybe this is only slight price adjustments cause of  the weak Pound and weak Canadian Dollar (like Activision and Modern Warfare 2)?

A large HDD, Blu-ray and GT5.

Not to nintendo they didn't. But I haven't heard of the pound or canadian dollar weakening to the US dollar.

Those Elites are gonna sell like hotcakes.

I checked on Xe.com and even without the 15% VAT the price of the Arcade was $190. I don't see why they would raise the price personally...



Tease.
