With Nintendo dropping the price of the 3DS, and Sony dropping the price of the PS3, it comes as sad news that Microsoft won’t be dropping the price of the Xbox 360 too.
Microsoft’s VP of interactive entertainment, Chris Lewis, has confirmed in an interview with VG247 that a price decrease for the Xbox 360 won’t be happening.
“As you can imagine, we plan for these scenarios all the time,” commented Lewis. “For me to sit here and say that was a big surprise would be a lie. Respect for what they do, of course. I love the competition, actually: it keeps us on our toes, and consumers benefit ultimately.”
Sales of the PS3 have surged thanks to the recent price decrease. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until Microsoft will drop the price of the Xbox 360…
