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. |
Well, I've seen a handful of reviews stating that it would be hard to build a PC at a similar price point with the same quality of graphics. But it's possible (I believe more improbable) that the $500 entry price is set that "high" to give Microsoft wiggle room to drop the price if needed in case sales were dismal which isn't the case at the moment. Just speculating.
