Forums - Gaming - 4 price cuts this month, 360s turn?

This month PS3/Vita/3DS/Wii U have all had price cuts of some kind announced, will 360 get one soon?

PS3-$269/299 to $199/269

Vita-$249/299 to $199

3DS-$169/199 to $139/169/199

Wii U-$299/349 to $299

I could see 4gb 360 staying at $199 while 4gb+Kinect and 250gb drop to $249 and 250gb+Kinect drops to $299

im betting microsoft are making a huge profit on the 360 now, i think they would want to continue doing so. even if it means less sales.



Well we haven't seen a price cut in so long so I wouldn't count on it, or maybe that's even more reason why the time is right to receive a price cut.



They should have a 360 + Kinect + 16GB storage or something for $199.99.



Considering the Xbone is coming in at a staggering $500, they don't need too. The X360 is already 1/2 that price and a good lower tier price point.

PS3 needed to drop to match X360 core as well as be a good margin below PS4.

Vita/Wii U frankly just needed it.

This, and may I add the only reason they would want to drop the price of the 360 is if they wanted more 360 sales and less X1 sales... (which makes no sense)



Their current prices are great so I don't see why they would.

I think the 4gb is priced fine but the 250gb and Kinect bundles could come down a bit.

500gb PS3+GTA5=$269 vs 250gb 360+Batman+Darksiders=$299, thats 2x the storage plus possibly the biggest game of the year versus 2 games that are 1-2 years old.

The 250gb should be $249 and come bundled with newer or more popular games, maybe pack in Halo 4 or the newest Gears game.

The Kinect bundles could also come down a bit, 4gb+Kinect=$249, 250gb+Kinect=$299
