But still don't see how that knocks off $100. I suppose somewhat cheaper bill of materials for all components will help knock down the cost too. Still bit of a struggle to sell a console that's the same price as the main competition with a key piece of kit (for most potential customers) missing, while retaining a piece of kit that's pretty under utilised. So seems rather unlikely to me. |
well, it assures that every sold game will be digital which will bring much more money as a retail game so that microsoft can calculate a lower price much easier with such a console.
it also reduces the used games market which helps to sell new games.
