Xbox 360 Arcade Will Drop To $199.99 On September 7th?

The battle for market share amongst the current generation of consoles is heating up, with the PS3 selling considerably better than it did at launch and the Wii and Xbox 360 still selling strongly. One of the biggest reasons Nintendo's console has gained such a big chunk of the market is that low price point. MS has been closing the gap in this regard and looks to go one step further with a possible price drop for the Arcade model (without a HDD) in early September. That would make the sub $200 Arcade the cheapest available console, with MS stating in the past that $199.99 is the sweet spot for console sales. Whether Microsoft will be making a profit at that price is hard to say (revisions to the console have brought production costs down, but maybe not that considerably), as is whether that price would last if introduced.

Microsoft Cuts XBox Prices,Now Cheaper Than Rivals

imageMaybe it was the bad economy. Maybe it’s the back-to-school season or an attempt to generate more interest ahead of Christmas shopping period. In any case, Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) hopes to see a sales boost now that its XBox console is now cheaper than rivals Nintendo Wii and Sony (NYSE: SNE) Playstation3, FT reports. Microsoft, which consistently ranks third in console sales behind its two rivals, is cutting prices in the U.S. and Japan.

The Console Wars: Why They Have Just Begun

GotGame’s Tim Bavlnka writes: "With the release of the Xbox 360 in November of 2006, Microsoft had a full year to gain a majority of the market share, and did so with the release of great game exclusives, and a reasonably affordable next-gen console. A year later, the Wii and the PS3 were released, and while two years later, the PS3 sales have been somewhat sluggish, losing Sony $3 billion dollars. When Metal Gear Solid 4 came out, the PS3 definitely picked itself up by its bootstraps and began to sell competitively…two years too late."
