It's also possible that we will see discless variants of Lockhart and Anaconda for $50 cheaper than the disc-drive variants, since MS is testing the viability of a discless console with the discless S next year, so we could see: $250- Streaming box $300- Discless Lockhart $350- Lockhart $450- Discless Anaconda $500- Anaconda |
I don't really think a $50 less disc-less version will really cut it and be attractive enough for even those who are majority digital and If they wan't a disc-less variant to work they need to put it out there for a bigger initial loss on their end to quickly make back through services and the higher margins on digital along with less sales lost from the used market, something along the lines of $100-150 cheaper if they want to tempt people into full digital.
