If the PS3 Slim is legit and releases at $299 - What will it do for sales?

The people saying it won't change much and it won't sell more than the 360 are delusional, (fanboys make me laugh)! It would more than likely be priced at $299, (which is enough for it to out sell the 360 alone, once again). That, combined with the slim will be a sure win, win. Don't kid yourself.

 

You're making an awful lot of assumptions there. Why would it be a $100 drop? Since when do hardware makers doll out $100 drops, especailly when they are bleeding money as is? 

Did the PSP and PS2 redesigns come with price cuts? 

Also what stops Microsoft from simply adding a 60GB HDD to their existing $199.99 360 model and undercutting Sony yet again? 

Or releasing their own slim 360?

You seriously think Microsoft would just sit there and do nothing? Give them a little credit, they have kicked Sony's butt for the better part of 3 years now.
