As everyone expected, Microsoft has cut the Xbox price in U.S., Canada, and Japan to match Sony.
Microsoft officially announced a price cut for the Xbox this morning, confirming analyst and industry speculation. The console will now retail for $199 in the United States, down from $299, and it will retail for $299 Canadian in Canada, down from $459.99 Canadian, effective immediately. In addition, the company announced that it will also cut the price of the Xbox in Japan from 34,800 yen to 24,800 yen, effective May 22. At present, there are no plans to reduce prices on accessories or software. This week's announcement will be followed up with a TV campaign and the unveiling of the company's online plans for the Xbox at E3.
