Microsoft working on Price Competition for "PS3 Spring Price Cut"

I find it funny that MS has to do anything to remain 'price competitive' when your competitor is priced so much higher than you are, and even with a price cut will still be higher. It's called fear...they know if the PS3 is at or near the same price, the 360 gets blown out of the water.

I also don't think that Sony is lying about not having a 'price cut'. It's not a price cut, because they won't be lowering the price of the current console. They'll release a slim version with a new price, and if the slim version never had a 400-500 dollar price, it's not a price cut to sell it at 300-400.

I don't think they're lying.

Why?  The Arcade SKU of the 360 is cheaper than the Wii, but its not blowing it out of the water.

Your post has a lot of baseless speculation ...

 

You haven't been here since last year during the many weeks of which the PS3 outsold the 360.  Don't try and act like you know anything about it now.  The 360 and PS3 appeal to the same crowd.  The Wii appeals to a much larger crowd and isn't affected by either the PS3 or 360 sales at this point in time.  If the 360 was $130, the Wii would still sell like crazy (edit:) and outsell the 360.  That's just a fact.
