I believe you are wrong there. How often does someone go out and spend $500 blindly, without knowing anything about the product.
If it were a can of soup about to go from 99 to 79 cents, sure, why wait.
But if I decide to spend $500 on a piece of electronics, you can be sure I'm getting informed. Google, youtube etc. are at everyone's disposal now. So the first thing any sensible person would do is find out about Kinect removal from his very first google search.
People today, even the most casual buyers, read up on their potential purchases, and are very informed. I assure you that most everyone who is deliberating purchasing a console knows about the imminent price drop. Heck, it's even advertised on Amazon and other online shops...

No, he's right. A lot pf people won't know. Yes the internet consumed gaming fanbase will but it won't be known to so many thousands of parents buyign for their kids and thousands of people who don't follow video game news. Sales of XBO will increase in May(marginally) imo because of this ignorance and also two new games in the pipeline.

agrred, as I kid I just played games. Every price drop in a console was a huge shock to me. I would assume most people are just as bling today.
