At this point in time - 4 years after launch - the PS2 and Xbox were down at $149, even though they started at $299.

Half the price for X360 would mean $149 for the Arcade and $199 for the HDD SKU. But in this generation only Sony is cutting it's price in a traditional manner, while both MS and Nintendo are keeping price drops sparse.

I hope MS can afford to drop the Arcade to $179 and the 120GB to $249 in North America soon (and to €149 and €199 in Europe) to gain back at least some momentum.

MS price drops are sparse compared to sony? They had a drop in q4 08 and another in q4 09. Sony had one in q4 07 and another in q4 09 that seems more sparse to me.

Or call them small, ungenerous or whatever. U get the point.

Sony $200 price drop in three years out on the market.

Nintendo only $50 drop in three years.

MS only $100 drop in four years.
