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.

there will be a PS3 price cut of $50 to $250 and then the $100 price cut next year which will get the PS3 to the majical $149 mark which made the most sales last gen with PS2.

Oh so they are going to magically reduce costs by another $150 in just a year, huh?  Also, did you not see where they stated "No price cut for another year".  I guess I should have known better to trust someone working for Sony over a random forum poster.

 

That sentence means nothing. Sony would not admit price drop until 1-2 weeks before price drop and neither would MS or Nintendo. If there is no plan to do price cut right now, they would say that there is no price cut this year. That still doesn't mean they couldn't decide to do price cut next week. Even longterm plans can be changed when ever they want. If MS drops the price significantly this year, then Sony might follow with price drop. Even if they say right now that they wouldn't do price cut this year.

exactly.they wouldn't want competitors alert or people stop buying and waiting for the pricecut
