![Microsoft: ‘Unprecedented demand’ for new Xbox 360](https://www.thetechgame.com/images/news/article/d32dc860ec.jpg)
“…we are hearing great feedback from retailers that the new Xbox 360 250GB is experiencing unprecedented demand,” a Microsoft spokesperson said in a report.
Additionally, Microsoft says the demand for its hardware since the $50 price reductions on all existing models went in effect, has helped move units.
“Strong demand for the new Xbox 360 250GB combined with a $50 price reduction in the U.S. on the Xbox 360 Arcade and Elite consoles, now US$149.99 and US$249.99 respectively, has resulted in a significant sales spike for Xbox 360 since the new console hit shelves on or around June 14,” the company said.
As a caveat, the above claim is based on Microsoft’s internal data, and not anything official from NPD.
Has anyone out there purchased a new Xbox 360 Slim? I want one dearly, but cannot justify shelling out $300 when I have a perfectly operable system. That said, I’ve been letting my cat sit on my Xbox while I game. So if the thing overheats I’ll be forced to buy a new one.
