Well, if true MS really out did themselves. Matching the PS3 price point with the Elite vs. the new 80 GB PS3. Microsoft is doing a great job a lowering prices they are setting a trend of when they should be lowered. Unlike, Sony who only lowered the price of the PS3 last year to combat abysmal sales. 360 sales have been steady so a price drop will only raise sales.

A $50 price drop in 2 1/2 years is a good job? 0_O

 

 

Yes, it is. Why lower the price when your sales are steady. As stated in my reply Sony lowered there price (last year) to combat terrible sales. The 360 and Wii haven't lowered their price points because their sales have been steady. As you notice as well since PS3 sales have steadied this year Sony hasn't announced a price cut.

 

So you arguement is basically:

PS3 cutting price because they are selling in 3rd place on a regular basis = desperate.

360 cutting price because they are selling in 3rd place on a regular basis = trend setters.

 

/sarcasm

And thinks that 360 atrocious sales are steady

 

Okay, I see where you guys are going with this. The 360 sales in the americas are steady. The sales in others are stagnat and in Japan as well. The price drop seems US only which leads me to believe that MS will try to keep Sony from winning the Americas market. That is MS stratagy. I never meant to sound so fanboyish towards MS. However, you can't tell me that the price drops that Sony put forth last year was not to combat the terrible sales in the US market.
