if elite drops to £169 from £229 then it will more than negate any PS3 price drop... the PS3 isn't going to drop from £299 to below £200 |
How do you know that? The 360 is already heavily marketted in the UK as having a £130 opening price point, marketting this to be £169 wont have an effect at all to the normal everyday customers.
It might not even boost sales that much at all. If they want to dent a possible £100 pricecut from PS3, they need to make the Elite cheaper than what the Pro was, say, £150 which doesn't seem likely at all unless the Arcade goes to £100 or less.

I meant it would negate the price drop... meaning the differential will stay pretty much the same...
There is no way there will be a £100 price drop... $170 dollars!?... I would be very very surprised.
If, as rumoured by IGN, the PS3 stays above £240 ($100 price drop) then I dont think it will make much difference in the UK anyway.

Possibly stay the same, we dont know what effects removing the Pro model will create yet and we dont have any idea how well Sony will market the PS3 this Holiday.
£100 would be possible, just highly unlikely... id say its the futhest they could go right now. As you say, the ~£240 price will be way more likely and it seems to fit in with a lot of speculation about a $300 PS3 in America.
