360 was sold for a profit since 2007. They stubbornly kept the price as high as they could since.

Now that the next Xbox is coming, its finally time to drop it. 360 buyers in 2013/14 will buy 720 in the next 4 years. Great strategy.

Fixed :) It has been a LONG time coming to say the least. They were making about $75 per console back in late 2007, then cut the price a lot in 2008, then roled out the new models in 2010 was it? Geesh this generation has been long, I'm losing track of everything. I went to E3 in 2010 and 2011 I believe and 2010 was the new console design.

Anyways, what I was leading to is the fact that MS has been posting huge profits for the EDD (Xbox 360 product division) the last few years while still doing heavy R&D on the new xbox, kinect, illumiroom, etc is a testiment to the kind of insane profits they are actually making!

Approaching 4.5 years since the last price cut come E3 2013. It needs to happen and happen big.

75?? damn
