If true, I think this pretty much puts Sony in last for the rest of this gen. |
No it doesn't. The 360 arcade is already $100 cheaper and is getting its ass kicked weekly. What makes you think an extra $50 cheaper will make the difference?

You aren't considering the many who want the console with a hard drive. A $50 price cut will be a definite deal breaker. Also, the update that allows USB stick support will make the Arcade models more desireable.

Okay as for the USB thing, I have no idea what that means and I'd consider myself fairly informed about gaming related things; so I doubt the average gamer (casual gamer or whatever) will know either so that won't make a difference.
And yeah I'm not saying a $50 drop won't help but I don't think it's gonna skyrocket 360 above PS3. $200 (current price) is very affordable already so I don't think too many people who want an Xbox 360 were waiting for it to drop lower than $200. Its not like the PS3 which went from an expensive $400 to a fairly affordable $300 when they did the slim.
So yeah it'll help and the 360 will probably go back to dominating in North America (its pretty close right now) but it won't stop the PS3 IMO.

The next update is going to allow the use of USB memory sticks up to 16GB. That means you can save game data, DLC, demos, XBLA games, Games on Demand, and even install 360 games onto a standard USB stick. Therefore the Xbox 360 hard drives are no longer essential for people that want to download. This means Arcade won't be gimped anymore.
Not everyone wants the $199 model. Every 360 owner I know has a 360 with the hard drive. So a $50 price cut on both models will be a definite edge over the PS3 and Wii.
They don't need to stop the PS3. Sony is already stuggling to keep the PS3 alive. The 360 is doing great and another price cut should widen the gap.
