No price drop? Does Microsoft think Sony is a joke?

[Just_Ben]

I think they will drop the price with the release of falcon (the fix of the RRoD). Why should they know? To sell more consoles and repair them later?

How much money they "put back" for the RRoD just for FUTURE costs of 1 year more varranty? $1.2 Billions? Something like that? How many consoles will be sold, before the problem is fixed with a new hardware revision? Lets take a guess... lets say 15 Millions? So the FUTURE cost of 1 year more warranty for each console would be? Well my calculator says about $80. If the $1.2 Billions is only for RRoD in the third "life year" of each console, guess how much for the first two.

So i say, no way they drop the price now. It's simple to expensive. But they will drop the price if they fixed the problem (with a new HW revision). And i think it will come soon.

Hell i say, without the RRoD they would have made a profit last fiscal year.
