Oh my! Such a weird turn of event this year with the 360 and PS3. So a price cut is really important for a console to sell? o_O

 

No... but both the ps3 and the 360 are pretty equivalent in their capabilities and library so they compete against each other for the same demographic. In such conditions, price matters.

 

 Capabilites equivalent no, the 360 does not have a blu-ray player, nor does it have  several significant features the ps3 has, consumers just dont give a $hit about blu-ray, and therefore they arent wasting there time on the ps3.

 

 

Capabilities equivalent, yes. Both play games which is what people care about consoles and they share a good chunk of their titles. As for blu-ray, currently arcade+standalone player is cheaper than a ps3. Other features like TEH CELLZ! and Linux are largely irrelevant.
