No shit, now tell us something we dont know

PS3 price at MGS4 release - $350/$450. 360 at same time... $250/300/400. Wii... $200.

 

80 or 120 gig will be released after 60 gig runs out in Europe / Japan. Mark my words...

So you're predicting that in the first fifteen months of the PS3's life, it will drop $250 while the 360 will only drop $100 in the first 27 months of its life?

Uh, no. Don't expect for Sony to drop the price of the PS3 again for quite some time. They're going to have to stop hemorraging money sooner or later. Also, expect to see a more significant drop in the 360 price than another $50.

 I agre, pig.  Sony's last cut was $100 and Microsofts was $50.  Sony's second cut was $100 and Microsoft has added some pack-ins.  The net result is they are on parity price-wise.  I'll be surprised if Microsoft doesn't "revise" their offerings going into the holidays -- perhaps with a monstrous Hd-DVD add-on deal or something like that.  I know MS wants to get to a point of profit and I suspect they will want to ride out the holidays and try to bank as much as possible and then act after the new year.  They would then have at least 1 quarter of solid profitability and something to show to shareholders.  They would also have to act and be able to justify it based on Sony's hemorraging money and having to stay in the race with them.  Also, make no mistake... with Sony's fresh price cuts, they are burning some serious cash.  The financials will be interesting indeed....
