原文：
Until May, conventional wisdom was that, when the holidays rolled around, Microsoft would drop the price of the Xbox 360. The reason? Prevailing opinion reasoned that, since Sony would price the PlayStation 3 near the 360's $299/$399 dual-price SKUs, Microsoft would in turn undermine the console's launch by undercutting its rival--that, and release Halo 3.

However, just like the holiday release of the final chapter in the Master Chief's Covenant-blasting adventures, a budget-priced PS3 is now only the stuff of nerd dreams. Likewise, a late 2006 360 price drop will not come to pass, according to a post on Gamerscoreblog.com by John Porcaro, a Microsoft PR manager.

"As you're all aware, there have been rumors of a price drop for the Xbox 360 coming along later this year," wrote Porcaro. "The official word from folks in the know is that there are currently no plans for a price drop this fall." (Emphasis in the original.)

The rest of Porcaro's blog post goes on to talk about how the cost of a $299 baseline Xbox 360 is a small price to pay to enter the next-generation of gaming, given the fact Xbox Live Silver is free and the console also plays DVDs and MP3s. Oddly, though, Porcaro's superiors in the Redmond, Washington, headquarters had not returned requests for confirmation of the price drop as of press time.

直到5月，大众仍然普遍认为接下来的假日，微软会下调360的价格。原因？大多数看法是，因为SonyPS3的定价已经接近了360的$299/$399的两倍，微软会进一步用降价破坏对手主机的首发，同时发售Halo3进行双重打击.....
在Gamerscoreblog.com上，微软公关经理John Porcaro的发言表示，360不会在2006年晚期进行降价（这一段前一句话我琢磨了半天还是看不懂，不过想到与主题关系不大就没有翻译，哪位达人可以来补完一下？）
“众所周知，近期一直出现360会在2006下半年降价的传闻”Porcaro写道，“而我所知的相关人士的正式发言为：并没有任何关于降价的计划”
Pocoro其余的发言则一直围绕着360核心版的物美价廉：核心版使你用极小的花费享受次世代的游戏；LIVE银会员的免费；DVD和MP3的播放等等.....不过，Porcoro是微软Redmond, Washington地区的管理级人员而已，微软总部目前还没有正式回应关于360降价的事宜。.

现在360的销售情况不错，根本没必要降价

降价要等到降价前1个月才能宣布，不然谁买？

PS3如果出来卖时还是叫价599美元的话,360确是无什么必要去降价,更何况到时买PS3可能还"必需"要买个25000日元的雪柜呢??????????????????

现在说圣诞会降价显然是不合适的，会影响目前的销售，但是提前2周宣布降价的可能性依然存在

现在是亏本卖的,再降价就更亏了
