Microsoft Xbox 360 Sales Double Following Price Cut
Posted by x3sphere at September 10, 2008, 5:40 pm
Who’da thunk it? Following last week’s major Xbox 360 price cuts, sales have surged. Microsoft sends word today that certain retailers are reporting a 100 percent increase in 360 sales over the previous weekend. In fact, “some models” — we’re assuming the Arcade and standard edition — are reportedly moving off store shelves at six times the previous weekend’s rate.
The obvious question now is, will these sales stick or is it a temporary victory for Microsoft? Hard to say, when we’re only comparing this week to the previous. Next week should be far more telling.
