Microsoft's X-Box Challenge

July 2, 2008

Analysis by:William Gardner, President,

Microsoft reportedly to cut price of Xbox 360 to $299 | news.yahoo.com

There are several key implications from this price move. First of all, the X-Box 360 is not moving well at retail, and there is "push-back" from retail vendors to get the hardware moving again. This lack of movement is causing a slowdown  in software sales, forcing developers and publishers to reconsider longer term planning and will impact X-Box-360 sales even further. Lastly, the world wide demand for the Playstation 3 is on the rise, and Microsoft needs to stimulate the X-Box 360 space. One question, why now?
