Xbox 360 next in line for price cut

Analyst Michael Pachter reckons that Xbox 360 will be the first console to see a price cut next Spring.
"We estimate that a $50 console price cut across the board will impact software sales by a positive 5%, and we expect Microsoft to lead with a cut some time in Spring 2011," he said.

Pachter also reckons that Kinect's launch will help drive 360 sales.

"We think that Nintendo's 3DS, scheduled for March release in the U.S. and Europe, has the potential to reinvigorate packaged product sales. Similarly, we think that Kinect and Move have the potential to drive console sales, broadening the installed base and giving new purchasers a reason to buy a greater number of packaged goods," he added.

The Kinect prediction is common sense but the 360 price-cut prediction is going out on a limb. Do you expect to see the price of Microsoft's console tumble next year?
