$99 for an X-Box 360.... Smart move? Or an act of desperation?

PS3 slim launching sooner than sony intended to launch it, act of desperation on sonys part?

...

Do you have any proof that they launched it sooner than they intended?  If not, then you are just making it up.

He's said it twice in this thread already. How many times have they revised the 360 hardware? Seems like every other month we're hearing about a new chip like the Jasper, or the Falcon, or the cyclops etc. etc.

Oh, so if ps3 was initially selling well do you honestly think sony would have dropped the slim on us as soon as they did? in previous gens slims were introduced to keep sales momentum going, this gen it was to prevent sales from going desperately low.

Bottom line______________________________

1) Just like Nintendo with DS Lite?

2) How do you know, that 299$ PS3 wouldn`t be outselling x360? Since, PS3 at 399$ was oustelling 349$ x360 in 2007.

Sony released Slim, because they could, after they improved techprocess. Why wait, when you can use both 299$ and redesign?
