You can look at price cuts as marketing also. But, both indicate a weak faith or expectations bc a company is trying to increase demand along the price curve. Ever took an economics class? I shouldnt have to explain the the simplest things for y'all. |
And you think you know more about economy than Microsoft ?
And yes Microsoft is trying to increase demand along the price curve and i have gave proof how good that the demand will do to them.
Windows XP will lose huge market share in the next year and if all those users shift to Win 8 . the new microsoft store will become flooded with apps which is exactly what they want to promote Win RT.
So i think they took a very wise decision not what you say weak expectations.
I mean common if $150 win 7 was successful .. at $40 how much successful Win 8 will be ?
Microsoft may get lower revenue from windows sales this time but if their strategy works they will have income generation start from Win store soon.
They can then easily charge what they want for Win 9 .
