It's easy to look at the numbers now and belive that it will stay this way.
Is it critical for MS to do a pricecut within 6 months? no, thats just stupid. From waht we have learned the pricecuts has best effect when done in sept. Just like Sony could hold out most of 2009, MS will do the same 2010. We all know that jan-sept don't count in the race for the whole year.
MS has, besides a pricecut, the hardware revision card to play. I can bet my nut that they have a fully working 45nm system working right now that they are tweaking to work in a slim case.
All MS has to do is to release a revision with larger drive, 250gb should be enough, that is slimmer and with WiFi and HDMI 1.3 and they will have the same jump as PS3. |
But that's what had me puzzled in a different thread, what has kept MS from revising the hardware? They could have increased profits even more and prevented the PS3 from getting this close or even been in a direct price competition with Nintendo.

No console's gotten a case revision as fast as PS3 has. Arguably, 360 didn't need it, PS3 did.... now the tables are turned.

Meh, I got no interest in the plastic casing, I was talking about the internals.
The 360 could have gotten rid of the fan noise and perhaps even the RRoD thingy, plus a quick google says MS back in '07 where pushing hard for 65nm and had big plans for 45nm chips but since then the PS3 has taken the inner line.
MS shouldn't have allowed Sony to make adverts about their console cutting power consumption.
I know why the original xBox never really had a hardware revision, but this time poorly executed contracts with the hardware suppliers shouldn't be a problem.

Uh... 360's on it's 4th internal revision already. 5th if you count the differing refurbs.
