Gamesindustry.biz report With more than two months to go before the Xbox 360 launches in Europe, a top Microsoft executive has announced that yearly price cuts are planned for the console.
Quote:
Xbox 360 is due to launch in Europe on December 2, priced at £209.99 for the basic "Core System". For another £70 consumers can purchase a package which also includes a hard disk, media remote, wireless controller and other extras.
"We will wind up cost-reducing the product every year," Todd Holmdahl, corporate vice president of the Xbox product group, told Reuters. It's estimated that the 360 costs approximately $100 less per unit to manufacture than Sony's PS3, giving Microsoft more scope for price cuts.
Umm?
Won't this just make ppl wait a couple more months to buy the system?
It isnt too smart to say the price will be cut if you wait, if you ask me..
- SideFFect -
Not really SideFFect
they say they "will wind up cost-reducing the product every year"
but no where in that quote did he say "and we wiil pass the saving on to our customers"
So,
by cost-reducing the product every year they can
fatten Mr Gates wallet every year
thats it
thats all
