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)

Do you really think Sony would admit to having a price cut before the price cut is about to happen? That would kill of sales until the price drop officially happens.

lol................thats what i and a couple of others have trying to tell this guy in 2-3 of the other threads about this discussion.

 

But everytime he says because sony said it they will not cut it.and he just doesn't seem to understand the thing

Sony have 2 stances when it comes to rumors. Deny or say they don't comment to rumors.

They denied LittleBigPlanet 2, which recently became true. They denied the PS3 Slim. They denied the PS3 Price Cut last year. They denied the PSP Go.

Sony "don't comment" on rumors. Those they do comment on are generally to say it's not true. lol.

Since when is a Sony Rep saying it himself a "rumor"?

Also, while I am not saying they will absolutely 100% follow this, they most likely will for the sake of profit.  Everyone thought they would cut price in 2008 to combat MS's price cut, but they didn't because they simply couldn't.  We are far enough along in this generation that they need to start focusing on profitability.  I think you both also failed to notice that the bundled cost of the PS3 + Move I actually included a $50 price reduction in it.  This is what I believe the prices will be as both MS and Sony will want as many of their motion controllers out there as possible.
