I think the biggest thing out of all that is the "No price cut for another year" part. Not unexpected. Also, this means that this holiday season the rundown will likely be a Slim 360 Natal Bundle at $250-300 and a PS3 Slim Move Bundle at $350-400. Regardless though it looks like the PS3 is about to be considerably more expensive to purchase than the 360 once the new motion peripherals and the new 360 design + price cut is released.

Will it be another $200 (Slim Arcade + Natal)/$300 (Slim Elite + Natal) vs $400 (PS3 + Move) holiday? Seems like we are ever more likely to repeat the 2008 scenario now.

we don't how about pricing yet... so hold your horses.

ps3 right now still is more expensive, and an add it's just an add you are not forced to buy the bundled version.

so unless one of them are huge hits u won't see a different story from chrismas 2009-

Even if you go for the non-bundled pricing it will likely be a $200-250 Elite Slim vs a $300-350 PS3.  The 360 and PS3 are currently the same price and yet one offers so much more so it is obvious at equal prices the 360 can never stack up.  At the same time, the 360, for those very same reasons, should be priced quite lower already but MS held off the price cut for when they do their own redesign and want to include Natal.

So with all those being stated, the situation is going to be much more likely to repeat 2008.
