Facing PS3's price cuts, Microsoft's Ming Xiu plank road obscures Chen Cang

Similar to 3DS, sales have skyrocketed since the PS3 announced a price reduction of 50 US dollars. Presumably the Xbox 360 is also under pressure, but Microsoft doesn't seem to have any big moves yet. The 4GB Xbox 360 Slim is priced at $200 and the 250GB model is priced at $300. In contrast, the 160GB PS3 dropped to 250 US dollars makes the PS3 in addition to the advantage of playing Blu-ray in the competition, but also a more cost-effective.

Chris Lewis, head of the Microsoft Xbox business in Europe, told the VG247 website that they believe that the price of the Xbox 360 is currently at a suitable level and is satisfied with the current sales volume, and will not consider reducing prices for the time being.

But in the U.S. Xbox 360's most dominant home market, hypermarkets like Wal-Mart don't think so: From the perspective of the promotional materials published by Wal-Mart, at least from the 28th of August to the 5th of September, the Xbox The 360 ​​Slim 4GB bundled Kinect package will be sold for US$249, which is also reduced by US$50 compared to the original US$299. Although Microsoft insists on the Joystiq website that the temporary promotion is Wal-Mart's independent decision, it has nothing to do with Microsoft itself. However, since 13 months in 14 months, the Xbox 360 has taken the lead in the US market with price cuts, it is difficult to ensure that no one in other regions will follow up. Players who recently want to purchase a console can pay more attention to this news.
