Dont know if this was posted before, didnt see any posts on on a EMEA price cut; if so, ignore my post.

I work at one of the biggest gaming stores in Holland and recently we received a press release from Microsoft detailing the following:

* Xbox 360 Arcade available for only € 149,99, as of July 1. This is a permanent price cut, probably until the redesigned Arcade is released.
* Xbox 360 Elite available for only € 199,99, as of July 1. This however applies only to the stock that is left in store, so there will be no more shipments of the old Xbox 360 Elite.
* As of July 16, the new redesigned Xbox 360 Elite will be released throughout Europe. This new console will be available for € 249,99.
* Some first-party Xbox 360 games were made cheaper as well, titles include Crackdown, Gears of War, Ninja Gaiden II, Ninja Blade, PGR4, Viva Pinata 1 & 2 and some more. These titles will now all be available for € 19,99 a piece.
*  Microsoft is prepping this announced for their new fiscal year, in which they strive to increase the demand for Xbox 360, accompanied with the launch of Kinect in November.

Some interesting side notes as I contacted Microsoft about supply for the new Xbox 360. They said demand for the new Xbox 360 is pretty hefty,  and they are not sure if they can cope with the demand in the first few weeks. I ordered 100 Xbox 360s consoles to start with, but they said they could only deliver 40 at this time. As of today I already have 12 pre-orders for the Xbox 360s, excluding personnel. I also asked if they had some indication about a Kinect price, but as Major Nelson said, the haven't determined anything and its still anyones guess.

Seems like Microsft is going for a strong fight against PlayStation in EMEA, will be interesting to see what Xbox 360 will do in the upcoming EMEA sales chart, considering old Xbox 360 models have been reduced in price. Thoughts? Xbox 360 at 75,000 for next week in EMEA?

If they have enough old models to hold over to the 24th it'll be good for them. It should raise next week, but it probably wont be over 70,000

I think we'll continue to see modest gains in Europe/Others

It should keep the Xbox 360 sales high for the next month at least. Just as the demand for the Xbox 360 S will likely start to ease a little in the U.S. and Japan they will have an increase in the EU to compensate.

I was thinking of when demand is likely to be caught up to by supply. It'll take at least until August before Xbox 360 S are plentiful enough assuming theres a similar short term spike in the EU with the release of the revision console.

Will there be enough supply to keep the Xbox 360 S in stock this christmas and will there be enough Kinect cameras to go around (depending on the price)? If theres insufficient stock of either it could mean that the price of the console remains the same for the forseeable future and any price cuts could come next year.

Didn't they have price cuts in other countries in the EMEEA ?

Not sure, but I guess this goes for Europe as a whole. Not sure though

In Spain we have those prices since May 3
