澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft has confirmed that it has no 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:plans to drop the price of Xbox 360 thi✱s autumn, despite t൲he imminent arrival of Sony's PlayStation 3.

John Porcaro, group manager of PR and communication for US 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft posted the following on his blog: "As you're all aware, there have been rumours of a price drop for Xbox 360 coming along later this year. The official word from folks in the know is that there are currently no🐲 plans for a price drop this fall."

Many people believed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft would drop the ༺price of 360 around the time of the PS3 launch in oဣrder to tempt gamers away from the new console. But if the £425 price tag for PS3 is correct, then there's already a significant difference in price as 360 currently retails for £280.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft had to make some significant price cuts when it launched the original Xbox, as the £299 launch price was particularly high comp💫ared to the £169 for a PlayStation 2 at the time. Consequently, Xbox was made available for £130 only a year later which left Microsoft incurring consid🐓erable losses on each unit sold.

Now with Xbox 360 firmly established, it seems that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft feels it can take on the competition of PS3 and Nintendo's Wii wi𝓀thout having to make any drastic changes in pricing.
