Xbox 360 Elite SKU to say goodbye?
Rumor has it that Microsoft is currently planning to return the Xbox 360 Elite to limited availablity as they original wanted.
But why? Well, since the Elite is priced significantly higher than the lower tier models, consumer demand has dropped due to the economy leading retailers to be less fond of the SKU.
When I say they will be returned to limited availability, I mean that Microsoft will take advantage of it’s marketability and use it to coincide with the release of games like they did with Resident Evil 5.
While this is still just a rumor it seems completely plausible.
