If they set the price tag at around 50-75$ it's because they don't think it will sell very much, and between those two price points I'm not really sure. But it's all a gradation. MS is in this for profit. What you guys need to understand is that prices aren't set in order to promote sales. Predicted sales set what the price will be. You're all (most of you) looking at it backwards. |
Not only for profit, if in the past it wanted to crush Sony, now that it failed at that, maybe it's realizing that the longer this gen lasts, the later competitors will grab a share of living room PC market with next gen consoles, as it's clear that current gen is lacking in key components, like RAM amount, for that purpose. MS now knows it can't kill the ghost that's scaring it so much, but it can do as much as possible to keep it away some more time.
