The 360's gonna get a pricecut to what? Free?

Seriously, just don't even try to make such a stupid fanboy comment.  This has been covered millions of times.  Grow up.

Current 360 Consoles:  $200/300/400
Average 360 sale price:  $290 (meaning more $300/400 than $200)

Possible price cuts:  $150/250/350 -- $150/200/250 -- $150/200/300 -- $150/250/300 -- etc.

And that still leaves room to cut the price at least once or twice more before the end of the generation in 3ish years.  Still leaves room for a $130 or $99 arcade, and lets not forget Natal will be coming in early 2010 to really mix things up.  I think the majority of the industry is more excited about Natal than a PS3 pricecut or slim of any kind.

---------------------------------------

Before the 360 price cut last year, the PS3 and 360 were the same price.  Obviously at the same price it made the PS3 a lot more valuable.  That's why the 360 finally lowered it's price which by then it could more than afford.

I asked all my friends, and they said they want to buy a 360.  Even my friends with PS3's are either selling them to buy a 360 or buying 360's to go along with their PS3.  Anecdotal evidence is meaningless.

Umm..wrong?  If the average price is $290, that means that the arcade console accounts around half of the sales.  The only way there are 'more $300/400' is if the average price is $300 or above.

Also..you people are off your rocker if you think they're going to cut the price.  I guess technically it will be heralded as a price cut, but all they're going to do is move the pro and elite down a notch, meaning Pro will be $200 and Elite will be $300.  They won't drop the price below $200 within the next year, and I'll take a bet with anyone on that.  Especially considering the Natal launch and it being presumably bundled with the system when it launches.
