@Squilliam, after some time, GC was selling for 99$, BUT this price didn`t help.
x360 is already a CHEAP console.
The pricecut, wont help much, since it`s already at MASS market price.

While, PS3 is yet to enter to that 299$ mass market price.
Also, PS3 game base is growing fatser, than x360. that`s why PS3 will be a MUST HAVE console. It will have too MANY GREAT AAA games, to be ignored.

You're making some serious assumptions here. Theres no assurance than the PS3 will reach the $299 price point this year. Its what you would like to happen, but its not assured that it will happen. Also even if the PS3 reaches $299 theres always the extremely likely possibility that the Xbox 360 will reach the $149 and $199 price points at the same time. A $299 PS3 is relatively more expensive than a $199 Premium than it is now at the current prices.

 

$199 Premium XBox 360 would be $349 + $199 Premium + $50 annual  online (recurring annual fee of $50) + $100 WiFi adaptor. MS gives you less and you have to pay more.

For $299 PS3 would have WiFi, "free" online in PSN which is better than XBox Live and also connects to internet and has Blu-Ray player all included in its price. Sony gives you more it is all included in its price.

The chances are more likely the XBox 360 will not survive passed 2012. X720 will arrive and we all know by Microsoft's past track record they quickly dump the old console.

PS3 has the 10 year plan which is an Iron Clad promise from Sony. Sony always deliver on their promises. 10 year PS3 life is guaranteed. PS1 last for more than 10 years. PS2 has been selling for 9 years and will certainly live for 10 years+. PS3 will follow the path of its two predecessors and it will last for 10 years.
