I'm not even sure these massive price cuts can save the 360 from the inevitable down fall to third place. The market has spoken and it will be the PS3 with the lead by a decent amount.

 

Poor 360.  Nothing but lamentable 3rd place to look forward to.  Oh wait, that's where the PS3 has been for the last couple of years and will probably remain for another year.

Why criticise a company for making price cuts when it can afford to do so?  Didn't the 360 stay at the same price it launched at for longer than any other console.  As already stated quite eloquently by mrstickball, the 360 was designed to be cheaper than the PS3 because it didn't include wifi and blu-ray.  Why then are some people stating that the PS3 would easily sell more than the 360 if they cost the same? 

It was designed to be CHEAP not cheaper.  That is why one of the 360's problems cost M$ over a billion dollars(RRoD).

If the PS3 & the 360 were the same price, the ps3 would sell better because it has sold better since Nov. 07 while being "more expensive".  Regardless of the $200 arcade, ps3 sales will pass 360 sales sometime next year, about half way through the planed life cycle of both consoles.
