Chyeah, all prettier things require upkeep :p, I dust every week anyway, so doesn't affect me much, it's the hard drive that will be a real bitch to me imho.

Claimed?  It's easy as hell, go spend $50 and you can have a 500GB HDD!   It has been said 1 million times people!

I don't see why Microsoft would lower the 360's price the way Kinect is selling.  I'd expect 360 demand to be silly high.

Maybe I'm crazy though.

Wii and PS3 though... probably.  Wii will probably need something it's had way less pricecuts then the PS2 did, and PS3... Move doesn't seem to be a big mover of consoles.

I think all consoles will get a pricee cut the 8th generation is near and wii will probly get one in summer when they release silver wii and 360 will get one this summer also with kinect bundle and 250 gb version ps3 maybe april

I ment 250 gb bundeled with kinect

This is good for anyone who is to poor to already own a console from this gen. Otherwise I could care less unless my old out of warrenty 360 or Ps3 breaks.

Price cuts depend on the objectives of the companies. As we cannot point to their maximising unit sales yet, then we'd have to assume they would try to maximise profit. Hence I think it isn't assured that Nintendo will cut the price although Sony doesn't seem to care about profit so they might and if Sony does Microsoft will.

Why would Microsoft cut their price if Kinect and the consoels are selling well?

Though I suppose I could see them cut if Sony cuts.

lol I love how when Pachter makes a reasonable prediction like this everyone is like "what a dumbass, everyone knows that" and when he makes a ballsy prediction that doesn't turn out people call him a dumbass as well.

If you're pachter, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. 

I don't love the guy but he's doing the best he can and he's entertaining. 

I agree with this post
