Pretty much a no-brainer, this one.
In its fourth year as a console manufacturer, Microsoft looks at its calendar 2005 with two potential goals in mind:
1) To continue its support for the second-place Xbox, and
2) to commence the hype for Xbox 2.
Although it's not written in stone in the "Rules of How to Handle a Console for Dummies" manual, anyone who's casually glanced at the history of consoles knows that price drops are inevitable. It happens once or twice a year, and in 2005 you can rest assured that the house that Bill built will almost assuredly lower the price of its Xbox from $149.99 to $99.99 at E3 in May. This lower price opens the system's availability to newcomers, less financially able folks, and to fence-sitters who wait for the price of everything to drop.
