Forums - Sales - 50 Euro Xbox 360 price cut March 14

IF MS drop the price now

Or will Sony wait to cut price when MGS 4 arrives?



360 might win its first week of 08!



Hi, i'm solojohlo and i'm pretty fucking awesome

Gebx could lose his bet if rumours of a price cut at the END of March, slow sales....

This will be the Xbox 360's biggest price drop. Last time only one SKU got a $50 drop, but this time it will be all three.

 That bet only covers NA, so these rumors are irrelevant.

Yes it does. In NA its sales are at pretty good level and there's basically nothing that they can do in Japan. But, in Europe, they know that they can sell the system if the bargain is good enough. Besides, this is just about the time to maximise the pricut and GTA4 effect. They would be trying to do the same that they did with Halo 3 in NA. Oh, and i forgot, 360 Arcade would still be more than 300 USD. So they could just fix the price to offset currency exchanges. Just like Sony has done in Canada.

I don't know about that.  I bet that giving away the system for free would boost their weekly sales past Wii and PS3 combined in Japan almost instantly.  Oh, wait... you meant there's nothing *realistic* they can do...



I wonder if this will help the 360 actually start moving some units in Europe or if the Watchdog reports and the like (about the 360 quality problems and MS' lack of support for it) have been too big of an issue there.

I don't see how this is a bad move.  Sony could drop their price at any time, regardless what MS does.  I see this as a way to get a bump in Other sales *before* GTA hits. 



299 euro price will be very attractive. =)

I wonder how Sony will react, WILL it? =))
As for now only movie pack and GT5P bundle announced in Europe by 19 and 29 March.
