I think they should have cutted the price to please their fans. The most important thing for us in this generation is to beat Sony and secure 2nd place.

LOL. Um . . . what???!!!

Um. Did you not know that the only thing really matter is the validation of your console of choice by sales numbers. Who cares about the games as long as we can say that "my console is better than yours, it has sold more".

Oh no, I completely agree. I was actually kind of wondering why all these gaming companies don't just give away their consoles like you know, for free?

That would please me greatly.

And a company could give away as many consoles as they were capable of manufacturing. Right before they went out of business.

Pachter knows they won't plummet - but I agree a small drop is likely. Computer & Videogames is quite possibly one of the most misleading sites on the internet for this type of information (see headline vs. comments).

X360 Shipments:

January to June 2009 : 2.9 million (1.7m shipped in Jan-Mar, 1.2m shipped in Apr-June)

January to June 2010: 3.0 million (1.5m shipped in Jan-Mar, 1.5m shipped in Apr-June)

Personally, without a price cut, I would have expected X360 shipments to be about 4.2m (down from 5.2m in Oct-Dec 2009) in Oct-Dec 2010 if Kinect didn't exist. But since they'll advertise that and create some interest for it, shipments will probably be 4.8m-5.2m.

Its a bit of shame they don't seem to be cutting price, because it probably means the maximum value for X360 hardware shipments in a year will be 11.2m during April 2008 to March 2009. They're only off 10% from that peak, a price cut could have gotten them to 12m-13m in a year.

Exactly. 13 million would have been possible.

I think they should have cutted the price to please their fans. The most important thing for us in this generation is to beat Sony and secure 2nd place.

And why is this so important to "us...?"
