Being that his comment was about being affordable to attract gamers, I think people may be reading too much into this if they think it really relates to the price of the stand alone Kinect system. With how Microsoft has operated in the past it wouldn’t surprise me to see a pricing structure like the following:
- Kinect stand alone hardware $149
- Kinect Game $60
- Kinect hardware and game bundle $179 ($30 savings)
- XBox 360 Arcade, Kinect hardware and Game Bundle $349 ($60 savings)
- XBox 360 Elite, Kinect Hardware and Game Bundle $399. (over $100 in savings)
Now, the numbers I listed were (mostly) for demonstration of how discussing "value" for new customers is not the same as offering an add on that is affordable to existing customers.
