How long will it be until Microsoft counters the PS3 price cut?

[NeoRatt]

Microsoft will probably counter at their press conference.

But, they should wait until after Halo 3: ODST.

I think price cuts now are too early... Look at when 360 cut just before Madden a couple years ago. Sony caught up and took the lead when Sony cut in November the same year. Microsoft should just sit and watch the price cut/slim marketing fizzle out a bit... Then, do something in the mid/late-October timeframe.
