| BHR-3 said: So cheapest 360=$199 then 250gb=$299 cheapest PS3=$299=pretty much same prices we have since last year=pretty much the same sales for the rest of the year going on to next year? also i believe kinect will cost over $100 when sold separately b/c if there charging $100 when bundled that would mean they want more to just go out and buy another 360 instead of just buying kinect on its own resulting in higher HW sold then if kinect was the same price as it is in the bundle |
Actually, the cheapest 360 is now $149. The current models have both been pricedropped by $50 to clear the shelves for the new "slim" models, which makes the current arcade bundle $149. Until supplies run out on the "original" design sometime around/after the holidays, that's going to make the 360 look MUCH more affordable to the average consumer. If the Kinect bundle (sans system) goes from $100, a new buyer can get a system with Kinect (including bundled games) for $249 new. Heck, even if the Kinect does go for the speculated $149, you're still talking about $299 for the system with a Kinect bundle.
So this holiday season people will be able to get a new 360 and a Kinect for the same price as the cheapest PS3 with nothing extra. Granted, the PS3 has an HDD at that pricepoint, but your average consumer isn't going to think about that as an issue.
Thence we came forth
