so now that ms have used what could possibly be their last price cut, what happens if sony drops price during the holiday? if this price drop doesn't boost enough, then the 360 is in real trouble. it's going to be the cheapest console in 2 major markets. sales SHOULD be higher at these prices.

 

That might be something M$ wants.  Sony to bleed itself dry in an attempt to stave off their rush.

i think it's pretty naive to think that sony will follow suit so easily. ms let an advantage slip, now they have to be selling the 360 below the wii in order to compete with a console twice it's price. unless sales from the cheaper 360 are phenomenal. sony aren't batting an eyelid. the 360 is already at a very good price point. if people aren't buying it now then i doubt the price drop will have much effect.

 

They are up year over year.  If they aren't buying it now, then they never were.  In which case Sony must have been doing really bad to still be behind them.

they're up YOY but still selling worse out of the 3. they are resorting to selling at $199 to compete. in my opinion ms are now in hope territory. if i weren't on my ps3 browser i would type a little more. but my fingers are aching! so im done lol
