What if.... Microsoft dropped their price at launch to $399?

[elazz]

If Microsoft invests 400 million in a American Football partnership, More than 100 million for the controller and around 300 million dollars for the console+kinect not counting in the exclusive deals and first party investment then they want to get their money back. I think they'll get a bad release, much worse than ps3, especially at this pricepoint. Perhaps 399 can change it however it won't really influence the launch I think. More the long run. Microsoft has a big buffer as a company.
