Microsoft believes recent price cuts to its Xbox 360 games console will help it to attract more casual gamers to its platform.
The price cut means that the entry-level games machine, the Xbox 360 Arcade, now costs less than the Nintendo Wii.
History shows that £159 is the price point where a console’s audience begins to expand. The price reductions, which come into effect from Friday, will see the Arcade drop from £199.99 to £159.99, while the Xbox 360 Premium, which has a 20GB hard drive, will cost £199.99 instead of £249.99, and the Xbox 360 Elite with 120GB hard drive, will retail for £259.99 rather than £299.99.
Microsoft already offers some film and TV downloads through its online marketplace. Although hugely popular in the US and UK, the Xbox 360 has been outsold in Japan by Sony’s PlayStation 3, and still lags behind global sales of the Nintendo Wii.
The Xbox 360 price cuts come just weeks before the release of Grand Theft Auto IV, the much-anticipated latest installment in the Grand Theft Auto computer game series.
The game will be released simultaneously on both Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 platforms, and will pit the two technology giants against each other in a head-to-head battle to entice gamers to their platform.
Pre-order available now for both the UK and US markets.
