03/10/09 HUGE day in my life:
| libellule said: funny how by dropping the elite price they are basically trying to directly counter the PS3 price cut conclusion : they still fear PS3 a lot ... |
Not really...
Tease.
(Might be wrong) But, last time M$ said they have a plan they announce another Halo with a price cut. I wonder if they are talking about ODST and Reach now. lol
Yes cause we all knew one of the richest companies in the word are scared by a much smaller company...

Are you serious? Sony shouldn't have added achievements; they copied MS. Sony copied Nintendo too. However, I won't flame Sony because MOST COMPANIES COPY. Why do they copy? BUSINESS. The only original companies, to an extent, are Apple and Nintendo. There isn't much original about any other game/electronic companu.

how could cutting the price be copying?
Elite? I'd prefer even cheaper Arcade... I believe this particular sku pushes hardware figures the most.

They don't want to lose market share to the PS3 at $299.
With no mid-range 360 (60GB SKU), the playing field would be $199 Arcade or $399 Elite.
Is MS worried about losing those majority mid-range console sales? Absolutely.
$299 120GB Xbox ("elite") = problem solved. The solution in this case, was actually there before the problem, but they won't react until a reaction is necessary (lower priced PS3). But they're still going to react and that shows concern.
The only thing MS loses is the $100 premium they were charging for an extra 60GB of HDD space and an HDMI cable (which will no longer be included). From a production cost perspective, 120GB OEM HDDs cost next to nothing more than 60GB OEM HDDs. That extra storage stopped being a "premium" $100 feature well over a year ago.
