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.


Seiously?? Come on the Slim relese showed that peope was waiting for PS3 to be dropped to $299, so they could afford it, also don't forget we have lots of Games coming including the all important GT5, I think GT5 is going to play an important part in keeping ps3 sales high, if x360 outsells ps3 it will be by a smaller margin this time around.

Your reasoning will fall on some deaf ears here.

But, this is pretty much how the general consumer sees video game console pricing. Most will buy the console they want when it hits a certain price (which is why viable hardware platforms sell the majority of their units under $200 over the course of a generation). You know this, I know this, but there are some people who still refuse to acknowledge it.

Fewer will buy the console they want as soon as X game is released.

Most consoles sell when there price hits under $200.Most did last GEN with PS2.two consoles have hit under $200 mark,PS3 is left
