| thx1139 said: People here never satisfied. Pricing - They have existing Arcade and Elites in inventory and they want to clear those before the Slim is priced differently. This is exactly what they have done in the past. So once those are cleared at the discounted $149/$249 prices they can have a price reduction on the new SKU for the fall sales season. If they held off the slim they would be making more expensive units for no reason. If they introduced the new SKU at lower price point they would need to reduce existing Arcade/Elites even more. I suspect this is also when you will see pricing for the Kinect SKU. As someone mentioned before. The slims are ready and MS wants to get the boost in sales that this will give them ASAP. As for the rest of the conference it did exactly what they needed for the 2010 sales season. They showed that Kinect works and it works very well across both games and the interface. It was very cool. You may not like the games because they arent hardcore, but these will be big sales to the targeted audience. They have fitness, they have games that make moms happy that family interaction and movement is happening. |
Okay, I'm here and I was satisfied with every single conference up until this year. You shouldn't make generalized blanket statement as if it was the absolute truth.
Why are you guys so against anyone else having an opposing opinion, secondly why is anyone even remotely suprised that MS's core audience, who was mostly ignored, is upset about it?
I look forward to this all year and I was let down. I would think people should just be happen that Microsoft so-called "fanboys" can actually, truthfully state a problem with the company's conference. I don't hear many fans of other companies doing that. If I could go back in time I suppose I could lie and scream "Bloody heavens that was a great show!" would that be prefered?
