Say, trying to steal some thunder from a competitor's big launch, like it already did with Forza bundles started during GT5 launch, this time, instead, flooding stores with Kinect-360 4GB bundles at $200-220 (*) time limited offer during 3DS launch? Knowing MS, I wouldn't rule it off, not fair at all, but business is business, and against Sony it worked fine (although Sony will almost surely retaliate with heavy GT5 bundling during Forza 4 launch), so why not be more ambitious and aim at Nintendo next time?I doubt MS will flood the market with Kinects when 3DS comes out. Portables and consoles, besides whichever way it goes 3DS first shipment is likely to sell out in 2-3 weeks time, so they won't be affected much.
What would be interesting is whether MS will flood the market with Reach bundles when KZ3 comes out lol.
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.
