| Xenostar said: 360 is already sooo cheap, i cant imagine a price cut having more than a modest boost, and to be fair i cant really see room for a price cut, maybe a price shift if they discontinue the 4gb and make the 250 the entry level model. I think MS will be targeting great value bundles this Xmas, rather than cutting price on the base model |
I don't get these narrow minded responses, gees people open your mind and think.
Especially when christmas comes around the Kinect will be viewed as a console in itself to casuals, they won't have a kinect, or a 360, so that's the what they're going to ask for when they cluelessly go into Gamestop 'can I have a 360 Kinect please?'
The cheapest kinect bundle is $299? in which case, yes, a kinect bundle marketed at mass market price WILL do well.
They also have plenty of room for a cut, Kinect is rumoured to only cost $46 to manufacture (that's obviously not including retailer cut, shipping ect) but they obviously make a hefty profit on it, whilst the 360 has been slimmed down in recent years, that offsets the added wifi ect. They havn't cut since 2008, if you're telling me Sony whose gaming division which is barely profitable in recent years can cut $150 in the last 2 years, but Microsoft who have been profitable since 2008 can't drop $50 in 3 years? do me a favour.
