According to Microsoft’s count, Xbox 360 hardware sales in North America have doubled, and in some cases sextupled, since September 5th’s price cut of the three Xbox 360 models.
“Coming off the heels of the console price drop last week, Microsoft Xbox 360 sales have surged, with retailers reporting over 100% sales lift for all Xbox 360 models compared to the previous weekend,” said the Microsoft release reported by Kotaku.
“Additionally, retailers are reporting that between Friday, Sept. 5 and Sunday, Sept. 7, some Xbox 360 models were selling at six times the rate they were the weekend prior,” the company boasted.
The price cut offers the following $50-80 price drops across the three Xbox 360 models:
- Xbox 360 Arcade (No Hard Drive): $199, down from $279
- Xbox 360 Pro (60GB HDD): $299, down from $350
- Xbox 360 Elite (120GB HDD): $399, down from $449
