As I said, that's why Sony have been so quiet. MS are driving their console business into the ground and Sony don't want to be dragged down with them. |
It's called crashing the market. It's setting the bar low for what people expect to pay so it slows the hardware industry down. Even if Xboxes don't fly off shelves using this tactic, it does make people think twice at why they're paying more for the competition. MS has far less to lose than their rivals by doing this. If MS can't gain ground in the market like they want, at least they can slow it down until they can figure out what to do next. My guess is that between now and next year is to keep Xbox as cheap as possible until they roll out the carpet for Scorpio.
