Don't expect Sony to fork over its profit margins - financially speaking this will probably be the best Christmas PS3 will ever have. Can't see a 'real' price cut on the older models, but they may discount them to clear out stock.

Uh yeah, but the new 360 bundle is taking away from the PS3 sales and if Sony doesn't reduce price even by $50 again, then the 360 will really be winning in courting developers, industry support within a matter of months.   Also, sony has the PSN-plus thing adding to its revenue so that should help with profitability as well and could be enough to keep the PS3 from going to far into the red to really hurt them. I see what you are saying and I really think that you could make just as strong a case for either side of the argument. 

 

activisions threat of going 360 exclusive (even though i don't care to much for them) is a reality once again. i'm not sure if different colors and larger hard-drives are good selling points.

$399.99 for PS3 is a step back unless they plan on reducing the price by $200.00 next yr.
