Kinect: $150 isn't retail price, it's production cost!

Posted on Tuesday, 22 June 2010 by Speed, source: Develop
According to a "highly-positioned trusted source", Microsoft's Kinect motion controller costs $150 to produce, quite a lot more than originally anticipated.
A highly-positioned, trusted source had given Develop the “$150 manufacturing cost” figure on the condition of anonymity, adding that the expenses of Kinect is a topic of concern for his company.

The news comes in the wake of rumours suggesting an internal struggle at Microsoft on the retail price of Kinect, a kit once touted to sell at £50, but now thought will cost over twice the price.
I guess we know why we didn't hear a retail price at E3!

Of course this is rumour and speculation (something Microsoft doesn't want to comment on - which they don't!) but it does put additional fuel on the rumours that we won't be seeing Kinect below $150. Unless Microsoft is determined to grab as much market share as possible, something they're aggressively done in the past already.
