Thrustmaster® is thrilled with the new price positioning of the XboxTM video game system from Microsoft and Nintendo® GameCubeTM. “We believe this downward move will enable a greater number of gamers to purchase these consoles and allow them to afford more dedicated accessories, thus increasing the fun they derive from their games,” says Jean-Michel DETOC, Thrustmaster General Manager. “Thrustmaster, with its technical innovations and prestigious licenses, will be recognized as gamers’ brand of choice”.

“As the only European licensee for Xbox accessories, Thrustmaster was anticipating this decision by Microsoft and is very satisfied with it. Thrustmaster has offered a complete range of high-performance accessories since the Xbox was launched, from the 360 Modena® Racing Wheel and Gamepad to the Top GunTM Fox 2 ProTM Flight Stick, FirestormTM programmable gamepad, FreeStyler Board, 8MB memory unit and cable sets. Sales of these products, which have been off to a good start – particularly in the United Kingdom – are expected to increase all around Europe.”
