Why not? I don't think $500 is a bad price for what it is. If I were to speculate, more powerful hardware usually comes at a higher monetary price while trying to please the stockholders. Again, just speculating. |
It's not a bad price for what it is, but it is a bad price compared to the Pro. If they had built their system on the back of the Pro unveiling, they certainly wouldn't go for a way higher price point than the Pro had one year earlier. Phil Spencer's talk about it being a "premium product" is just the defense of that high price point in comparison to the cheaper Pro.
