It's a bit different than that. I haven't heard anything about MS stopping production of Cores, Premiums, or Elites, whereas Sony has stated once 60gb stock is depleted, it's gone. Also, this will make the cheapest 360 the same price as the Wii. A brand new 360 has never officially been offered for lower than 299. |
apples to apples. If they are making a 65nm chip to go into the "falcon" model, they WOULD NOT continue production on models that cost them a 1.1 billion dollar warranty, just think about it. like this post said:

I would say it won't increase it 100% like the PS3 drop did. However, I think it could brig the X360 upto 50,000 units a week. This is GREAT news due to Madden, Stranglehold, Blue Dragon, Medal of Honor, and Bioshock coming out in the next 4-5 weeks.
A $50 pricedrop, although not what I wished for (I've been advocating a drop since Gears of War's launch last year), I believe there is an inerhant strategy:
Microsoft drops the price $50, and starts clearing out the ~1m remaining X360 consoles left unsold. By the time these consoles are sold (probably right after Halo3 launches, and sells through lots, and lots of units), the Falcon will be in production - saving MS more and more cash, and the more reliable system.
At that time, MS could easily decide to drop the price another $50 before Christmas to dominate the US market in Nov-Dec with a $199 core (as we've heard about)."
This makes alot of sense to me. It was mainly just a jab(back) anyways ;)
