Xbox 2 for $400?

An anonymous reader writes "CNN/Money has posted a new Game Over column quoting an industry analyst who suggests the next generation Xbox could cost as much as $400. This is on top of software price increases of as much as $10 per game, which (according to the article) have already been confirmed. Also discussed are backwards compatibility and the lingering question of whether the Next Xbox will have a hard drive."

    A friend of mine is planning to sell his Xbox to buy Xbox 2 and keep his old games because he knows that Xbox 2 has to be backward compatable.

    Man, he is naive, I mean this is Microsoft we're talking about.

    You're right, AC. Microsoft has no sense whatsoever. They've made the least-advantageous choice at every turn. Paul Allen must feel like a real ass for hitching his wagon to that particular star. I bet he often tells the Portland Trailblazers (which he owns) all about how foolish Microsoft has always been and how much he regrets being involved with them every time they fly to a game on his private jet.

    Idiot.

    Because it wouldn't fit underneath.
