$600 model dropped to $500.

$500 model dropped to $400.

PS3 dropped $100.

I have not seen the $400 top model and $300 lower end models yet, have you?

So does that mean 360 had a $260 drop in 3 years?

 It is region dependant I think. The only model Europe got I believe was the 600 euro one and currently the only model is the 400 euro one. Please correct me if I am wrong on that point.

 As for America, well the arguement still can be used. the 20gb was rare at launch and discontinued shortly there after. There was a tim when the only model being sold was a $600 model. Currently the only model being sold is the $400 one. This is all a moot point though since it is just a fanboy pissing contest that means nothing even on the internets.

 

Well if they want to get into region specifics the 360 is now 170 euros down from 399 euros in Europe from what I know with the Arcade being 130 euros. Even bigger drop if I am not mistaken. Either way, the argument that Sony is desperate is full of fail.

So no matter which way they look at it 360 has had more price drops and slashed more off their price WW than the PS3. All because it was being outsold by the more expensive console on a weekly basis WW. So which sounds more desperate with this info in hand? They made 2 price cuts in about 6 months in Europe.

I just hate the ill informed $200 PS3 price drop argument.

 

Microsoft's price drops have coencided with chip modification and price dropped with cost.  This is not desperation... desperation is dropping stuff off your console to get the price under control.  The only think Microsoft has removed from their console is RRoDs.  I can go point out how Sony's views on BC have drifted completely to the Microsoft side... it was good in the beginning, but really just not needed as we can see from sales charts that are much higher this year without it then last year with it.  If sony can't get it down to 300 with current specs I'm sure non-essencial things like Wi-Fi will be the next to go.  We can counter eachother all day long, but the truth is that the PS3 isn't some f'n super console that will suddenlly fly off to crazy number and take WW sales away from MS this year or next year.
