tis is just a rumor I found at gamepro forums but I think it is true. I've heard of this on the Feed once. So is it true? And if it is, is it a good idea? I think it is to boost up sales of both Halo 3 and the 360.Oj, and by $100 dollars
Well in a way it would be a good idea in a sense that the 360 would fly off the shelves, but Halo 3 can sell consoles on its own without a drop so they will most likely take the extra money that they can make without dropping the price.
Well, I mean...some people don't want to pay $400 dollars for a premium, so this might help them out too.DuDisNow
Well if they dont want to spend the extra $50 (probably max of what the price drop would be) for the 360 now with all the games that are already out or will be out by then I doubt that drop would push them over the edge to buy one.
I don't see it happening. MS is aiming for profits. Droping their system's price on the day it's biggest seller launches doesn't make sense.

Actually it does. MS is profiting right now from the 360. By september, we should see further price reductions. MS knows that every 360 sold is not $400 sold. It's $400 plus $50 for the extra controller plus $60 for the first game plus around $270 of other games plus whatever they pull out of XBLA. Selling a console at a lesser profit on the moment their biggest punch comes out? That means a spike to Wii-ish sales numbers and even beyond, even if it's for a month. This will hopefully get some momentum going into the holidays, which could be a cashcow (no pun intended) for MS:
That would be an error on MS' part. Halo 3 will move plenty of consoles on its own, and afterwards they could drop the price for holidays and have a huge surge in sales.
