Sony had demonstrated again that the PS3 will outsell the 360 if it is within $100 of the lowest 360 offering. I agree that MS will once again cut the price of the 360 in 2010 to improve its market position, but unless they can cut $100, I doubt they will consistently pull ahead of Sony. The only thing that could possibly keep MS from third place is Natal, and I have my doubts about its relevance. The PS3's black friday performance has to scare MS.

I concur.

I think it's more like less than double the price of the cheapest offering.  All MS needs to do is maintain the cost at about 50% of the PS3, which really by now should be fairly easy so I don't see why they didn't cut the price.  Probably so they can afford to bundle Natal AND potentially cut the price next fall at the same time.  If Valhalla is ready by then (which it was rumored to be ready by end of 09) then that would mean huge cost savings.  Maybe MS could even shrink their system a bit and move the cooling fans to not waste all that empty space...
