Instead, what they can promise us is that they will be making an official announcement on the cost of Kinect sometime later, as the days wind down to a close to its launch.
“We will obviously announce [the price] little bit closer to the launch date,” said Chris Lewis, “and I am pleased to say that in Europe it will also get a November launch right across the key markets, which is great.”
He furthers, “We’re making sure of that as soon as Don [Mattrick] is very fixated on syncrhonizing this and making sure that Europe is absolutely instep with the US and other parts of the globe. That’s one thing.”
He also does reassure that although they’re not giving a specific date as to their pricing reveal, we will “be very comforted that it will be a great value. We know that’s important. It has to be. So, we haven’t said yet when we’ll come out with a price point but it will be ina timely way, for retail to have a plan for the consumers to be able to plan the expenditure.”
Several retailers have already pegged numbers to Kinect, but to this, Lewis only says, “I cannot comment on the numbers [you just articulated], but I think you’ll be very happy when you hear our plans.”
