Kinect Price Prediction

Although no official Kinect price has been announced, that doesn’t stop different analysts from guessing what they think may be the price of Kinect.  There are different theories about how Microsoft will price Kinect.  Some think that they’ll price the hardware lower to get the accessory into my living rooms, and then hopefully recoup the money from the sales of various Kinect games.  Others think they will price the accessory higher because of the hard ware costs.

Michael Pachter, a video game analyst, has gone on record on his online show, “Pach Attack“, that he thinks Kinect will only be $50, and he’d be shocked that it would cost more than $79.  He’s of the cheaper hardware, and recoup money on games mentality.  He also mentioned that Microsoft may have a lower price point for Kinect because they’ll be able to sell more Xbox 360’s because of it. (UPDATE: He replied on a later show that it will definitely be more than $50-$70.)
