Other times, if the hype didnt push you to buy these decent games when they came out. often its not going to when they're cheap. Nobody wants to buy something just to see it die, even if it has good past games. that money could be put towards the new console.


For me tho, i know every game i want before its out. Every game i own i've gotten the first day it came out. I Know whether i will buy a game or not before its release.

Ehh sometimes for me it's the hype of a game (otherwise why would I buy a 50 dollar game over a 20 dollar greatest hits title that's supposed to be great too?), but I can buy older games as well (Tony Hawk 4, Kingdom Hearts, a number of other used games)...

If I bought an Xbox, I'd definately pick up Halo and Ninja Gaiden (that one's fairly new, so sue me)... Knights of the Old Republic, too... And Morrowind... Yup... Actually there aren't too many games I want, maybe I'll wait for an even lower price

that is not a huge price drop, i dont think that it'll help sales as much as they want it to. why didn't they drop it to 129.99, that would sell xbox's like madddddddd.... bad move i think.

I dont htink that it will boost sales that much. A 30 dollar decrease isnt going to do much. Most of the people who wanted an XBOX bought it when it was about oh, i dont know $800. If anything all the people who bought them expensively are going to feel cheated out of money. I know i would. I say next time a new system comes out, hold off buying it for 3-4 months, and save yourself a couple hundred bucks.

Do you say the same thing about Gamecube and such or do you just have some negative views towards Microsoft? Cuz I remember buying NGC for 200 bucks and then like a year later it was half that...

I think like that for all systems and software. Its stupid to raise the price up $200-300 higher than what it should be for the first few months.

You do know that pretty much all the consoles lost money on each system sold when they first came out right? So Microsoft and Gamecube should eat even more money than they already were? That makes great business sense.
