Have the 360 and PS3 ever been the same price before? I would imagine if the PS3 can manage top beat it when it's more expensive half the time it shouldn't have issues at the same price point.

The 360 is 199, the PS3 is 299.  They are not the same price. 

The 360 Elite is now 299, just like the PS3, but they were both 399 until price cuts, so yes, the PS3 and 360 have had skus at the same price for a while.

Difference now is, PS3 was never mass market price, and now it is.

I love how Mass Market price was always considered sub $200 until the PS3 hit sub $300.

Also need to add the 360 did fine against the PS3 in 2007 during the holidays and no this wasnt because of Halo 3. The Halo 3 spike happened in September and October. Not November and December.  360 held its own precisely why it will again this year. The 360 has a less expensive model ($199 vs $299) just like back in 2007 ($279 vs $399) in addition to an SKU the same price as the PS3.

Well, $299 is a mass market price. What are you saying, the Wii is too expensive for mass market? Yea, it certainly shows in the sales...

/sarcasm...

We all know that the Wii is a totally different beast and caters to a different market. Not to mention that the Wii does sell for $249 and includes what has been the #1 or #2 reason why the casual market wants a Wii.
