Well they wont be announcing or even hinting for a price drop until days before that price drop .They arent so stupid you know ?If they announce they will cut the price in three months nobody buys the console until then .We wont be hearing anything about a price drop until the effectively drop the price .

Don't beleive it. Why would Sony announce a price cut until it was ready to make a decision to cut the prices? They won't b/c the people that would have bought a more expensive PS3, sooner would instead choose to wait. So no, they will keep saying this, until we read in kotaku that Sony has announced a price cut.
Nobody said you had to believe Sony, I wouldn't. And yes it's obvious that pre-announcing a price cut would be suicide, I don't think Sony is that stupid. I'm just pointing to Sony's official stance instead of speculating.

Sony can say whatever they want. The fact is, WHEN 360 price cuts they are not really gonna have a choice. They compete for a lot of the same market that 360 does. 360 IS price cutting this year, that's a fact.
I agree if the 360 drops, it will force Sony's hand and they will probably have to drop their price as well. But it is not a fact that MS will drop their price, did I miss some press release? Is MS that stupid to pre-announce a price cut. I think it is likely there will be a 360 price cut sometime this year, it would make sense to try and undercut your competitors if you can. But I don't think it's a fact. Stromprophet, as someone who seems to be clamoring for evidence this entire thread where is yours to back up your fact.

I just don't think a price cut is as far away as you all do because of outside circumstances that are going to force a price cut.
I think you are in the majority of people, both Sony lovers and Sony haters are expecting a price cut from Sony soon within the next year and a half. They may be forced to by a 360 cut, or they may have to do it to try and stimulate sales.
