Do you seriously believe there wont be a reduction in MS (and possibly Ninty) prices over the next 2 months?

Its as if people expect MS and Ninty just say , "oh shit PS3 reduced prices... didnt see that coming... guess thats that then... close the doors and forget it fellas".

This site is hysterical at the moment.... some sanity and perpective needs to return.

Microsoft most certainly *did* see it coming, and that is why they planned a drop in the Elite's price to coincide with the ps3 cut. 

That's all they'll do this Holiday.  Their next step is waiting until next year and making a big push with Natal.  Dipping below $199 would probably force them to raise prices when including Natal next year, something they would not want to do.  Staying at $199 gives them the power to create an excellent bundle at $199 next Holiday season.

And stop calling the site "hysterical" simply because they don't agree with your opinion. Remember that the ps3 outsold the 360 for almost a year in 2008 before Microsoft really responded.  Microsoft and Nintendo try to make the most financially responsible decisions, not decisions that'll screw the competitor in the hopes of pleasing their army of fanboys.

All that may happen kowenicki is ... a Wii price cut !

and if it happens, believe me, expect Xbox360 arcade sales to suffer

and without Arcade, Xbox360 would not beat the PS3 every week and would not have dominated last Xmas  ...

so Ninty, are you ready to finish the fight ?
