W.T.F?

Natal is priced at $150, the new console is priced at $299. That's all you need to know, and a bit of basic Business understanding.

$150 $299 = $449

If they are selling that for $300 - Guess what, chances are they'l be making a loss.

And the new Arcade price is 150 dollars, 150 150 = 300 :P

Yea, but I was specifically talking about the new model :)

And by cutting the price of the Arcade by $50 - profits are again going to decrease unless it remains profitable and sales explode.

You realize they make a pretty penny on that right?  Over time things are engineered and become cheaper to produce, there's a reason for slimmer models typically coming with a price drop ;)  You can believe what you wish man but they make money on the arcade, they've been turning profits and haven't sold the xbox for a loss in a while.  So selling a newer cheaper to produce model isn't going to decrease that, if they bundle it with Kinect it all depends on which model they bundle it with, how much, and how much kinect costs to produce, which if you've been keeping up they've been making it cheaper to produce as well.
