If this happens, Microsoft will have another price cut for sure:

- the Core will be $250 at most
- the Premium will be $320 at most
- the Elite will be $420 at most

If they did say bye to xbox making a profit any time soon, a decade of loss's doe snot sound good.

Any info to back that up? According to most analysts, MS is making a profit on hardware right now, such a small price drop wouldn't hurt them nearly as much as a $399 PS3 would hurt Sony's pockets. If these rumours are true, Sony would be giving up $100 per sold PS3, a part of Spiderman 3's revenue, and a lot of money on Ratchet and Clank too... and you're surprised a company as rich as Microsoft could do a measly $20-$30 price drop??

Get some perspective please...
