99$ seems ridiculous considering MS is a business and very low profit margin with 99$. Comparing that with 199$ and 249$ with kinect. They probably make 100$+ on each. With 99$ it would be impossible to make 100$+.

??? So what? $ony sold the ps2 also for $99, they also didn't make $100 with each sold console. It is about selling the brand especially.

Sony probably made more off a 99$ PS2 then MS would with a 99$ 360.  But anyways since when has MS cared to sell their brand when it conflicts with high profit margins?

Perhaps $ony did, perhaps they didn't. We don't know. But anyways do you think spreading the Xbox brand is not a major goal for MS? Btw, at the beginning of every gen they didn't have high margins and they are still not healthy financially when it comes to the whole xbox-brand which contradicts your stereotypical thinking. Let them sell the box to whatever price they want.

Of course they would want to spread Xbox brand, but not for sacrificing profits in their Xbox Division. @bold We might assume the same for Xbox One, which means they would want profits from 360 to support the losses. They not being healthy financially with Xbox brand means they would want to keep higher profits. They can sell their box at whatever price they want, I just think $99 is unlikely.
