[Rumor] Xbox 360 $100 (total) price cut in August

Not only that, but NDP has already reported that MS has lost 1.92 Billion on the Z-box 360 already due to failures and warrenty extensions that a price cut at this point will send them further into the whole. So it's kind of a double edged sword.

-Price cut = higher sales, and further $$ losses
-NO price cut = lower losses and more ground lost to Sony & Nintendo, but brings them closer to making a profit after 1.5 years

So it's hard to pprove or disprove this information with the current state Xbox Xorp is currently in.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The only thing you can do with the memory unit is with your save data. No Xbox LIVE or Marketplace functionality supported.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes you can and it's as easy as it could be. Simply undo the side panel and clip on your HDD, done.

Here's an even better one for yeah (might not need it). I was hoping to have this one edited before you saw my last post. Oh well.



How ya doing, buddy?

@Guru
Nintendo is on a whole nother planet with the Wii. Anyone who's looking for a PS3/360 experiance is NOT going to buy a Wii, and visa-versa. Their audiences for the most part are very different and therefore not in direct competition. Therefore making the 360 & PS3 in competition for the more hardcore markets. (This applies to only thoes who buys 1 system)


@Lukage
The two things will be related if a price cut makes a sales increase which then in 4 months makes the repairs increase. MS will probably then be around the -2 Billion mark come November.

MS sure has the NA market brainwashed with something, because if any other company had a 30% failure rate, people everywhere would be screaming bloody murder, and then sales would be in the whole. However the only way for MS to start making any headway in the $$ department is to make the shoeboxes start working. Otherwise we're going to have a company in the leader spot with negatice profits, wouldn't that be a riot, lol.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well until someone can name me 10 original BIG 3rd party games for the Wii, and first party games outside of '07 then I'll believe that the system will be more then a 1 year fad.

In the mean time it's a fun system that keeps me busy during 360 repair periods. It's also the system appealing to kids and soccer-moms, while ignoring thoes who got Nintendo to where they are today.

-> Back to topic though. I still say that a price drop can only be good for sales, but it's definately going to put MS in a rugh financial spot when they're already in the hole almost 2Billion dollars, and they're the market leader.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That's mostly what my problem with the Wii is. The system is a great money maker, but it has yet to really move the industry in any forward direction. Other then a couple well designed games, 90% of Wii games are ports and cash ins. The PS3/360 may right now only be moving us in a better graphics direction, but at least it's going somewhere that benefeits the gamers.

Really all Nintendo did with the Wii is made you buy a second GameCube and a new periphriel. Which is good for the bottom line, but doesn't really rejuvinate the market for any long term benefeits.

Don't take me the wrong way though, I'm glad that more people are getting into gaming which helps bring things more main stream unlike the PS3/360, however for thoes who've been playing these things since the NES days or earlier, Nintendo really have yet to bring anything other then the big four to the table for us. Really makes me feel shunted by them.

FELIPE NO

Yeah but really. How many games are there announced for the Wii that are looking to be deep and memorable games. 4 that's how many. SSBB, Metroid 3, Mario Galaxy, and Zelda. Now what does Nintendo have scheduled for '08 that match these titles? Oops... we forgot about after '07. Same can be said for the 360 so don't think I'm just bashing the Wii.

Only system that I see right now who has ANY future looking plans is Sony with MGS4, two Final Fantasy games and KillZone 2. Sure the PS3 may not have many titles now (which YES, is a problem for what? Three more months?). But their library is looking a lot brighter further down the tunnel then the other two after '07.

Btw, as you know the PS3 has been out as long as the Wii so Nintendo has no excuse to not have plans reaching outside of '07, sorry.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah, because KillZone 2 and FinalFantasy VS XIII, and the 2 team ICO projects were originally slated for '07 ya know.

How ya doing, buddy?

What is Rygar?
