Strike 2 against XBox 360?
Tags: Microsoft, Sony, Games, Gaming, XBox 360, Playstation 3, Marketing
The Inquirer has a rumor that XBox 360 will retail for $299. However, of more interest is the developer comment below it, namely
With "The Godfather" premiere game already pulled from launch, this comment certainly doesn't provide warm fuzzies for XBox 360's Q4 launch, does it? Somehow, I suspect that Microsoft got that "Underpromise and overdeliver" marketing mantra backwards. And from what I've seen of the competition's plans (including those that are setting a price tag of around $465 for that platform), Sony has made no such error -- yet.
