Slim will probably be $299.99 and $249.99 actually for Black Friday deals. 

That makes literally no sense.

Why would they release a new console revision at the same price as the old one? What is the incentive to by either?

Back in May 2004, Sony cut the price of PS2 to $149.99, a few months later they released the PS2 Slim for $149.99.

 

Back in 2008, Microsoft cut the price of the base X360 model to $199.99, In 2009 they cut the price of the premium sku to $299.99, in 2010 they launched the Slim models with price tags of $199.99 & $299.99.

 

It is not uncommon to release slim models for the same price as previous models.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
