Kinect price drops not Microsoft, retailers getting "competitive"

The recent lower price listings for Kinect with retailers are their own doing insist Microsoft, as they haven’t lowered the trade cost of the motion camera.

It’s a ”competitive market” out there and ”sellers are choosing to be competitive,” attempting to undercut. Amazon has Kinect at GBP 104.99 right now.

The November launch of Kinect had it retail at £129.99 but retailers are going to war with each other over the Xbox 360’s motion controller. “Pricing is a decision that retailers make,” said Microsoft UK and Ireland’s Neil Thompson.

”It’s a competitive market out there at the moment and I certainly think sellers are choosing to be competitive.” Have you bought Kinect, videogamer?
