Tommie on 09 March 2008

It looks like Microsoft is really preparing a European price cut for all Xbox 360 modells.
Dutch toy chains Bart Smit and Intertoys have both listed in their ads that an Xbox 360 price cut is happing on March 14. All Xbox 360 SKUs will have a price cut. The Xbox 360 Arcade will drop from €279,99 to a price under the Nintendo Wii of €199,99. The Xbox 360 Premium will drop from €349,99 to €299,99 and last but not least the Xbox 360 Elite will have a new price tag on March 14 of €399,99 as to the previous €449,99. A proof image can be viewed below.

A day late, and a dollar short.

Looks like the Others sales figures is going to be a little bit more interesting now. I wonder how it's going to do now against the Wii.

I am not really shocked, especially as we had a very similar thread yesterday

Ohh about time M$ done something about there sales, real question is how long will it boost for them, and will it take any momentum away from the PS3.

Interesting Sales i think :D



kingofwale on 09 March 2008

what's the reason behind it?

Weak US dollar? (no price-cut in US)

weak sales number (price-cut imminent in US AND Japan)



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

No. Sony needs to wait as long as possible with the price cut. In most european countries this move won't matter. In UK GT5P bundle will dash this little 360 offensive for sure. They will gain nothing.

Ur funny. Now that the 360's price is under that of the Wii and way under the PS3 sales will be doubled at least.
