I am 50/50 split between you being right and the price cuts being a bit bigger (something like $130/$200/$270).

What makes you think that Microsoft might go bigger? What goal do you think that my accomplish?

 

Mostly, hitting the psychologically attractive $200 price point on the Pro unit!

 

Haha, yeah I think they do seem to be obsessed with that price point! Hmm if the average price of the console falls by 33% then the overall sales would probably rise by more than 50% (Had they happened for last year) according to my rough no calculation economics. So accounting for some year on year demand decay due to market saturation and sales should be up by 25% Y.O.Y. at that price point at a rough guess.

Does selling 3.6M consoles in the U.S.A sound plausible as a 25% Y.O.Y. increase for the 10 weeks of Christmas up from 2.9M?
