Corrected your prices in line with the logic you say you are employing in your argument (ie. comparing the cheapest a console could have been obtained at retail at launch compared to now), but (oh dear) it shows that the XBox 360 price cuts aren't keeping pace with those of the PS3 and the price differential is actually reducing. Surely this means Sony are more desperate than Microsoft.
