| mrstickball said: I agree. MS is in the position they could EASILY combat the Wii directly, and totally malign it (in terms of it being a strong #1 in the US). The thing I worry is that MS is too stupid to realize that the price drop is needed when H3 launches, so the Halo-ites are out of the way. |
Dropping the price with the release of Halo 3 would be a terrible idea. The people that want Halo 3 and will buy the console for Halo 3 are going to buy the system with the current price. Those people that are on the fence may or may not buy it at launch with the current price, but that's why you lower the price after the sales die down. That way you get the same amount of people and make more money.
-edit-
And it would be interesting to see what Nintendo does if the 360 goes down to $200. I still have trouble believing the 360 will go down that cheap so soon, but who knows, I've been wrong plenty of times before.
