I could be wrong but I suspect that Microsoft may be using the next couple of months to track interest before they settle on a price. If interest is high, and they believe they can have a good launch regardless of the price, I would expect Microsoft to announce the price at a very high level and to make a substantial profit on each unit sold; in contrast, if they discover that people’s intention to buy is small or is very price sensitive they might take a loss on each unit sold to try to prevent it from failing.
