Xbox 360, Lagging in Sales, Will Cost Less


Microsoft said on Thursday that it was cutting the price of its Xbox
360 game console. Starting this Friday, its base model will now sell
for $199, down from $279. That makes the 360 the cheapest of the new
generation of consoles — and, pointedly, cheaper than the $249
Nintendo Wii.

The consoles, of course, aren't interchangeable, and price is hardly
the sole arbiter of whether a console sells.
