The PlayStation 2 and Xbox are set for European price cuts in the coming days, with Sony to cut its price to UKP 104.99 and Microsoft has confirmed Xbox will drop to UKP 99.99. Confirmation has finally arrived from the Leipzig Games Convention that Microsoft will drop the Xbox to £99.99/149.99 Euros across Europe, which will take place as of Friday August 27th.
Retailers will hope to see a significant sales boost for both consoles from the price cuts, much as was experienced by US retail back in June when Microsoft, and then Sony, slashed the price of their consoles within the space of a month of each other.
According to Gamesindustry.biz, the PS2 has continued to outsell the Xbox (In the UK) by a factor of between 2:1 and 2.8:1 over the course of the summer, with the Xbox shifting around 5,000 units per week while the PS2 hovered between 8,000 and 14,000 units.
"With the strongest Christmas games portfolio of any console, Xbox is now also the best value console on the market," commented Xbox EMEA regional VP Eduardo Rosini. "It's a winning combination for gamers this Christmas, and even more people in Europe will discover why it's good to play together with Xbox."
