I also expected it closer to the holidays like September or later. I guess sales must have been really slow in April/May. If US sales should be half of VGC estimates, maybe Euro sales should be too.
IMO the temporary cut to $450 that some stores initiated was disastrous, as you can not put the price back up to $499 after doing that. Once people see the price fluctuate, they will be more likely to sit on the fence and wait for the price to come down. I think this made it so they have no choice but make a permanent cut soon, and removing kinect was maybe the only economical way.
