It's meant to push Q4 sales. Just wait until Q4 is over to pass judgement. After this quarter is over, it's back to the drawing boards for Microsoft.

 

 This.

The holiday season is the real reason behind this pricecut, M$ doesn't care about the sales of the few slow monthes before that.

 

ps3'strength = bluray   xbox360's=low price sku

Well said the real battle is coming this CHRISTMAS.  The price drop will be relazied when mom goes to get Johnny his PS3 sees the 360 aracade for $200.00 and says why cant I get him that!!!  Yes we all know they will need HD and other things but Grandma can pick up the Hard drive and auntie some games.  Mom leaves paying $200.00 instead of $400.00

 

The economic slump plays into MS startegy very well.
