You state that MS is going to sell 30 million 360's in one year and then drop the price to lose out on all the revenue? This is why I and others will not take your OP seriously because there is absolutely no logic in it. Try and look at it from both sides and then try to explain in more detail than this because I don't see Natal doing that much for the 360 or MS supporting the platform for that long either, god and never mind those pricecuts you listed...

But other than that, great post!

MS makes a TON more money from royalties than from hardware sales due to their high attach rates. It makes sense to drop the price as much as possible to take market share and sell more games especially if they can make the xbox consoles for cheap.

And MS would make even more money on the 360 if they didn't drop the price. Revenue is important, and investors look at that which is the reason why MS would not cut the price after selling 30 million consoles in on year. Just look at how Nintendo profits off their hardware, it's crazy but you don't see them dropping the price because it wouldn't make business sense. Why drop the price if your console has the biggest attach rate and selling like gangbusters?

That'll be with a 30-40$ loss.

When the hardware increase, software will increase too.
