Console Wars - The Financial Front

Read this.


Good read 'bout the recent price drop. In case u dont like reading the whole thing, the best quote is: "Don't worry, Microsoft will make it up in software sales, if every customer buys 20 or 30 games."
That about sums it all up.

Looks like Microsoft's deep pockets are going to get a good digging.:thumbsup:

"After the early adopters are tapped out, the Console Hardware Playbook calls for a price drop to something that sounds more affordable, like $299. At this point, sales are supposed to really start to pick up steam, packing on another 10 to 20 million units. A gradual price war is expected throughout the years of the XBox life span. Everybody's game consoles then slowly drop to $249, then $199, then $149, and finally $99. Microsoft would hope that Sony and Nintendo hold out until year 6 or 7 before dropping to the $99 mark." dang nintendo are clever. they practically immediately dropped the priceto $150, that really must hhav fucked things up for microsoft . good article.
