Sales - 360 price cut in US? - View Post

Let's say the 360 is set to sell 5 million more consoles this year at current prices.  If they cut price $50, they might sell an extra million.  But it would cost them $250 million up front. (5 million x $50)  Are they going to MAKE $250 per console on the extra million sold?  Not a chance.  So why cut the price?  It'd be bad for business, even if it makes their sales look bigger.

 

The goal is to turn a profit, not to sell the most consoles.  If you can do both (Nintendo) then awesome.  But MS didn't get to be the size it is by being stupid economically.   



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
