I see a Nintendo cut as a possibility. An MS cut is pretty much guaranteed with the slim/redesign coming. Sony already said they won't cut price for another year to focus on profitability.

The prices I could see coming about are as follows:

Wii - $149
360 Arcade Slim - $149 ($199 with Natal)
360 Elite Slim - $199 ($249 with Natal)
PS3 Base Model - $299 ($349 with full Move [controller + eye + subcontroller + game] - essentially a $50 cut)
PS3 Larger HDD Model - $349 ($399 with full Move - essentially a $50 cut)

if 360 arcade slim $149 has huge impact then PS3 120gb will be $249.Only if arcade price cut has an impact.

 

PS3 120gb Move bundle at $299 is certain

 

With removal of DS3 and inserting Move,navigation,eye,game will be possible to be included in $299 bundle.They could even break even with this bundle.If not then $20 LOSS AT MAX.

 

Wii $149 only if PS3 and 360 are crushing it.

 

and no chance of elite being at $199,$249 will be the price.They could add a 250gb HDD to $249 alite

 

Elite NATAL at $299

You are just wishing for the PS3 to price cut and stay the same price as the 360. You honestly Sony can afford to drop the price on the PS3 but MS can't afford to drop the Elite past the same $249 price point? PS3 has BluRay and WiFi built in. Therefore it will never have the ability to be built cheaper than the 360. The Elite will be cheaper than the entry level PS3 this holiday you can count on it.

no i'm not wishing.just saying what is possible.

 

Sony just started making profit with PS3 and with 32nm CELL,bluray becoming cheaper and other cost reductions.PS3 will profit even with $249 IN FALL Time.This is for the $299 129gb PS3 they are already making profit on.

 

PS3's price cut to $249 will only come if 360 has an impact with the SLIM 360 at $149.

 

The reason why i said 360 elite won't make under $249 is because it won't make any impact and MS will keep it $100 above arcade.Whats the reason of an arcade at $149 when you can get AN ELITE AT $199 which i think will not happen and $199 will also be NATAL Arcade Cundle price.They could however introduce a 250gb HDD in Elite $249.

 

Elite manufacture cost is lower than PS3 but MS will not price it lower.And Elite will be $249 and if Arcade doesn't have much impact then PS3 will remain at $299 but if it does then PS3 120gb and Elite will be level and you can count on it.
