Global Hardware/Software Dec 24th up

What the Xbox 360 has done this holiday season is just awesome. The console is now in its 7th year (!!!) on the market and did not receive a major price cut since  September 2008 (!!!) and profits around 2.5 billion USD for the past 2 years. Isn't it insane that there will be a SKU for $450 releasing next year? That is more than the launch-pricetag.

Now make the following pricetags possible:

• $199 for the Xbox 360 with 250 GB HDD
• $299 for the Xbox 360 with 250 GB HDD + Kinect 
• $349 for the Xbox 360 with 320 GB HDD + game (special editions like Gears of War 3 or Halo Reach console)
• $399 for the Xbox 360 with 320 GB HDD + Kinect + game (special editions like the Star Wars console)
• $99 Kinect sensor

This would boost sales even further. Especially the special edition consoles for games like Halo 4 or GTA V. I hope MS will provide new numbers at CES 2012.
