Another price cut just because of the PS3? Does anyone really think the 360 isn't selling more because of its price?

They've had a $200 unit since october last year, that's the cheapest current-gen console in the market. The PS2 is $130 and isn't selling more than the 360 right? When the PS2 get its price down to $100 it will get a nice sales boost but nothing extraordinary or long-lasting. However the new price might help it stay around the same level of sales where it's been at $130 (meaning they will drop a little slower after the cut).

The 360 is on its fourth year, it's on sale for as low as $200. Its market saturation level is higher than the PS3s. Another price cut would definitely give another nice boost to it but it wouldn't do enough in the long-term to justify the kind of loss MS would have to take just to remain around the same level of sales.

I call for no X360 price-drop this year, too risky if even possible and it could backfire for 2010.
