Apparently thanks to the newly refurbished Xbox 360 S console, Microsoft’s manufacturing costs are lower than ever, giving them room to bring the price down a notch. This makes sense, and it also makes sense that they would hold off on the price cut for the first few months following Xbox 360 S launch due to high demand.<\/p>\n
As soon as the sales surge is over, Microsoft would do well to hack $50 off the retail price and move in for the kill. <\/p>\n
The $50 price cut will reportedly affect both the 4GB and higher end Xbox 360, and is likely to be implemented as early as E3 (June) 2011. <\/p>\n
The Kinect price is also expected to come down. Amen to that. <\/p>\n
Fudzilla has a history of breaking embargos and leaking valuable information that turns out to be accurate, so we are keeping an eye on this. <\/p>\n
