Remember that $50 a console on 60k units a week is $3 million dollars a week in price cuts. And way more than that at peak time (holiday). They need to move a lot of consoles on this cut and pair that with Live/games/accessories/downloads to make that money back. If they would've moved 3.5 million consoles in North America the rest of the year without a cut, that's $175 million to recoup in terms of increased sales of merchandise/services.

$50 is a signifcant cut in terms of the bottom line.

 

 lol, what are you trying to say?

Has it escaped you that all electronics drop in price.

The point is that the thread title questions that it is "only" $50 bucks.  And the point is that there is nothing "only" about it.  It's a big cut.  Almost 20% of the price.  People act like these companies can just drop $100 off the prices whenever they have to pee.
