Microsoft will also be selling a new bundle that includes the redesigned Xbox 360 with 4GB of internal flash memory and the Kinect kit for $300 starting on Nov. 4. News of the bundle first broke on Kotaku last month.

that will do well....


This will definitely do good. But stand-alone Kinect is screwed.

If you have a 360 already, does MS really need you buying Kinect?

This is a masterful move. Buy 360 kinect and save 50 bucks. New customers are key here...

Masterful is a bit far.

Masterful in a sense that you want to profit on hardware... I think both sony and Ms have realized that its completely foolish to lose money on hardware launches.

Exactly. I don't know why so many people were just assuming MS would be practically giving away their hardware, five years into product cycle just so they can inflate their numbers at the expense of profits.

By now, all consoles should be well past the "sell at a loss" phase and be making a decent profit on each hardware unit sold in addition to revenues generated through soft and peripheral sales.
