Xbox for $99? Xbox 2 in 2005?
For the past two years, Microsoft has established a reputation as a follower in the video game war. When Sony acted, Microsoft reacted – especially when it came to price cuts. Things could be about to change.
Microsoft’s Xbox may be on the verge of a substantial price cut, falling from $179 to $99 by Labor Day, according to P.J. McNealy, an analyst with American Technology Research.
“It is our belief that the price on the consoles in North America could see a stepped drop this year, with both the PS2 and Xbox being cut to $129 between now and the May E3 trade show, with [Microsoft] then cutting the Xbox further to $99 in the late summer,” he wrote in a research note released Wednesday.

An XBOX as cheap as a Game Cube? I don’t know if I buy that one. Maybe $129, but not $99. We will just have to wait and see.
