There has been an arcade unit for $199 for a while, hasn't helped much has it?   But now, we have a lot of improvements in the PS3 coming:

 

-PSN premium services which will add another source of revenue

-Google TV 

-Move                           

 

The 360's improvements are nowhere near the PS3's improvements this year. 

LOL!  So you think Natal will add up to nothing, but Move will help the PS3?  You think a rumored price of $150 for Natal is too much, but the price of a single person to play Move games would be ~$140 already, and if you want to play just 2 player games... that's another $100.  Ouch.

I'm sure XBL will be adding tons of features.  Heck it is already leaked to be getting Hulu which will combat Google TV quite a bit and I'm sure there will be quite a bit more.

You are also forgetting the 360 redesign coupled with a price cut.

And last but not least, was this thread really necessary?  Are you really so ignorant and short sighted to forget this EXACT SAME SCENARIO only with the PS3 in desperate need JUST LAST YEAR?  Quit feeding the fanboy console wars with this junk.

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/10/playstation-move-bundles-announced-starter-kit-under-100/  Sony said under $100 for a move starter kit. PS move PS eye, and game. Thats not $140.

Most likely he's either throwing in a second Move controller or Navigation controller into the mix for games like SOCOM 4 or The Fight: Lights Out. He's ignoring that not all games require either and guessing at the pricepoint of one of them from there.

His point still stand that Move probably isn't any cheaper than Natal when you go all out with a PlayStation Eye, game, 2 Move controllers, and a Navigation controller, but this is the same logic that PS3 fanboys use to try to claim that PS3 is significantly cheaper than 360 when you add in a Wireless Adapter, rechargable batteries, 120GB Hard drive, Live subscription, and a seperate Blu-ray player. It's all very true, but your typical shopper standing in front of a $199 360 Arcade and a $299 120GB PS3 who doesn't have any interest in watching blu-ray movies, or downloading a lot of games is going to have trouble justifying the PS3's extra cost. The same is the situation with Move and Natal. A customer who just wants to play EyePet or The Shoot and only needs one Move controller is going to see the bundle at less than $100 and see Natal at possibly $149 and is going to have to justify the extra cost.
