So much nonsense in this thread.
- NextBox wont release until 2012 or 2011 at the earliest.
- In 3 years the 360 has dropped a total of $100 on the Core/Arcade and Premium.
- Consoles hit prime sales based on price and the 360 just entered the sub $200 range.
- 360 had no Halo or Gears as a launch title so claiming NextBox needs one is foolish.
- MS doesnt invest in a brand new interface for 360 for just one year.
- Blu-Ray becomes less of a differentiator as Blu-Ray players continue to get cheaper. Kmart will selling a Sony player for $180 Black Friday weekend.
What will happen with 360 in 2009/2010
- 40 Million is possible by eoy next year. Especially if 360 continues its improvement in Japan.
- I expect Gears 3 in 2010.
- I expect a new Bungie game in 2009 or at the latest 2010. MS surely has right of first refusal.
- I expect 1 or 2 new Rare games in 2009.
- I expect Forza 3 to be nurtured and remain hidden until GT5 is unveiled.
- Just like in 2007 MS did not make a big deal about 2008 titles until 2008.
- I expect MS will drop price on 360 another $50 when Sony drops price. Also expect that because of the cost model of HDD drives they will increase no matter what the price is.

I don't don't expect a price drop next year for Microsoft unless they get the the GPU and CPU on a single chip... a "slim" 360 or whatever is when I expect the next drop... though if Sony drops boy 100 you may see a drop before the holidays from MS... but that's just my opinion...

I do expect a pricedrop, in or about october, though it may just be the removal of the arcade/core, and the lowering of pro to cores current price and elite to pros current price
