You go by the assumption that MS hasn't already anticipated this drop and already has a plan to counter it. Obviously the game of the year elite bundle is a good counter. You also go by the assumption that the "slim" model has the same features as the current PS3. What if it ships with no Wi-Fi, play and charge kit, or BD player access (requires a dongle).
I think a $300 elite game of the year edition destroys a $300 stripped PS3. |
No Wi-Fi? Big deal...it's just like the 20GB. No play and charge? Well since all PS3 controllers are rechargeable, I'm assuming that you're saying that they woundn't include the super cheap USB A to USB Mini-B cord....I doubt that would happen. And no BD access? That would defeat the purpose of it being a PS3. Taking Blu-ray out of PS3 is like taking Dual Layer DVD out of a 360....it just isn't going to happen.
All your hypotheticals fail, and I don't know why you think this bundle would fair any better. A PS3 that cost $50 more outsold the 360 when it was bundled with Forza and Marvel. At price parity, I don't care WHAT game you toss in there, because obviously at certain prices, PS3 demand is higher. Otherwise if a Halo bundle was going to push tons of hardware, the Halo console wouldn't have gotten discontinued
