Coming soon: Video game price cuts | |
|
||
| Time: 11:35 EST/16:35 GMT | News Source: CNN | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Microsoft (MSFT: Research, Estimates), Sony (SNE: Research, Estimates) and Nintendo, naturally, aren't saying. CEOs of major game publishing companies dropped a few hints, though, at UBS Warburg's 30th Annual Media Week Conference. The consensus seems to be that we can expect another round of cuts before mid-year, most likely right around the same time as the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the gaming industry's annual trade show. Most execs are predicting another $50 reduction, taking the Xbox and PS2 to $149 and the GameCube to $99. While unlikely, they acknowledge it's not inconceivable that PS2 and Xbox prices could fall to $99 (and, by default, the GameCube would slip to $50). | ||

It's the games... agreed. But that's where they make the money.
If the PS2 drops to $149 I'll buy one. Then I'd have both an XBox and a PS2, like most of my friends... which would really upset sodajerk because he thinks it has to be an either/or equation. |

| Now if all the games took the same (proportionate) price cut! That would be something, but they'd go broke. |

| Bought Splinter Cell (XBox) this weekend. OH MY! Absolutely spectacular. |

| JWM - even with today's low pc prices, there's still no way to match the XBox's graphics card on your pc... for the price of an XBox. |

| JWM: I never ever said that the X-Box graphics are better than a high-end PC, I said that the game makers can take full advantage of the X-Box while not being able to do the same thing on a PC. |
