wow ms did the same thing sony did... alot of people laughed at what sony did back then whos laughin now?

We laughed at Sony then because they were full of shit. They denied that the price drop was a clearance sale (MS admits it upfront). They denied that they were doing horribly (and they were). They denied that the initial models and price points were a mistake (and they were).

Can people not see the difference between publicly phasing out a nearly 3 year old model for something more up to date, as opposed to scrapping two consoles less than a year after launch, all the while denying that there was anything wrong?

 

 

Maybe that's why you laughed at Sony. The point is, this long rumored price cut really isn't.

When isn't their a long rumored price cut?  Their has been a really long rumor going on that PS3 will get a pricecut as well.  The only console that isn't rumored to have a pricecut is Wii and thats because it's still selling out in many US markets.
