Agreed. This thread is just ridicluous. 1. A price cut would kill the PS3. 2. 360 would follow with another price of their own. 3. R.I.P PS3

The only problem with your assessment is that Microsoft has just about hit the breaking point on how low they can drop the 360's price. They can drop the arcade $50 to $150 and have the Pro follow suit in 2010, but that's about as far as they can go. Sony on the other hand could easily afford to drop the PS3's price down $100 by the end of 2009 and probably by ANOTHER $50 to $100 at the end of 2010. Furthermore, Microsoft has far less of an untapped market to delve into now that they've hit the magic $199.99 price point that many speculates keeps the biggest market from purchasing a system. Sony on the other hand hasn't even come close to that. They have over $200 in price drops before they even reach the biggest market sales.
