IF microsft doeBs an $100 price cut across the board and has an $180 core arcade system, PS3's momentum should fall off.

If they got that cheap, I would just see more PS3 fans picking up a 360 because of the low price.

$180 Xbox? I don't see that happening anytime soon, not next year for sure.

I expect MS to drop price mid-2008 but I think Sony will follow suit pretty fast. They will not sit down and see their console go down the drain. They have too much money on the line to let it happen. For Sony it's better to lose $50 more on each console than to slow down sales.

But I don't think either MS or Sony will drop the price a full $100 across all models though. Maybe $50 on the low end and $100 on the high end but that's all. This would put PS3 at $350-$400 and the 360 at $230-$350.

 

But just how far are they willing to go? Sony was losing money with their $600 version as it was, can they really afford even more price cuts?
