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. 

You just made an assumption too.

First PS3 is not yet on its 3rd year. Last year the PS3 outsold Xbox 360 until the pricecut. Just like in basketball it's still anyones game until buzzer sounds.

The one who's kicking the butt here is Nintendo. Nintendo took the majority of casual gamers. For the Core gamers Both Microsoft and Sony are having it's fair share of core gamers( Xbox 360 have the lead). So give the credit where it's due and that is Nintendo.

BTW MS did a fantastic job this gen. except the RROD thing. Who would've thought that MS will be a fierce competitor to Sony and so far winning.
