Analyst: Xbox 360 Elite Price Drop Coming Next Week
>> From dailygame.net:
[QUOTE]
Today the news broke of the PS3 price drop, and immediately following, rumors spread and questions flew about when Microsoft's Xbox 360 price drop would hit. According to an analyst with EEDAR, the Xbox 360 price drop will happen within a week.
That's right, the Xbox 360 price drop will no longer be rumor or speculation seven days from now, says EEDAR's Jesse Divnich. Instead, the Xbox 360 price drop will be reality within one week's time -- and maybe within the current week.
"Additionally, we do expect Microsoft to make an official announcement, in the next week, regarding the elimination of the Xbox 360 Pro SKU (retail MSRP $299) and the reduction in the Elite SKU pricing to $299. However, we just consider this a pseudo price drop. It is no different from Lexus introducing their 2010 models at the 2009 prices and clearing out their 2009 inventories. Sure, there is a better value, in comparison to the 2009 models, but a consumer still needs to be in the market for a luxury car to reap the benefits. A consumer shopping for an entry-level sedan will not suddenly upgrade to a Lexus just because the 2010 models have been released. EEDAR does expect the Xbox 360 to get a small boost in sales in the short-term, but considers any Xbox 360 sales lift to be a positive byproduct from additional marketing and retail circular placements."
