It won't pass it, it will come close but it will not pass. Thats my prediction. Microsoft will pull something out of their sleeves i'm sure. They're not going to just hand over the sales lead to Sony. |
And what will that be? Remember, MS already dropped the 360's price by $50 for 3 months in its best region. It had a $99 360 plan at retailers. It had a $149 SKU for Black Friday week. Many retailers are still selling the $199 SKU for $179. It had the a new game in its biggest exclusive franchise. And with all that, the 360 still ended the year being much lower YOY than the PS3. As opposed to the PS3, which only had the Super Slim, without a price cut (the entry price acctually went up $20 in America). The only thing MS could to maybe slow/stop, but definitely not reverse, this trend is to start selling 360s for $49, and with Kinect for $99,

The price cut and redesigned Super Slim helped spur PS3 sales. But the 360 still dominated the PS3 throughout the holiday season. Microsoft needs to do the same thing, redesign the Xbox 360, make it even slimmer, possibly throw in a blu ray player, Kinect should be bundled with all SKUs and they should make a permanent price drop. There's plenty they could do, it's not over until the fat lady sings bud. |
