Entry level BR players cost 99$ right now (see samsung bdp1580)...you don't have to wait that PS3 slashes its price to 199$ (price point that will be reached at least 1 year from now, more likely 2 years). BTW when ps3 will be 199$ there will be Br players for 50$.
a company thinks the other way round: if i get the same sales at higher price point i don't see the reason to cut my profits. Also PS3 became profitable recently: i don't think you can go to the share holeder meeting and in the wake of crysis say "let's cut our profits!". So you can cut profits but you should be forced to do so: you don't cut your profits just to recover a gap becaouse you like to see VGChartz home page with the red bar at the same height of the green one.
i said that 3D is not a factor...but i also added that in case it became important in the near future there's no thing like "ps3 is 3d ready and x360 is not": they're both capable. it's not a selling point that ps3 can play against x360.
to me MS will support x360 as long as Sony will support PS3.

I said that they have more room to entice new customers by lowering the price than their competitors. Not that they should do it right now. Just that by itself, justify the possibility of staying longer on the market than 360. If they have the same popularity, more expensive technology will usually stay longer on the market than less expensive one, that shouldnt be a surprise to anyone. Maybe MS will support 360 as long, thats not the point, all im saying is at the moment theres more factors pointing to Sony having sufficient financial advantages to support PS3 longer.
If 360 continuously outsell PS3 month after month by 300K-400K after liquidation/revision while staying at the same price point I wouldnt do the same analyse... Instead of you that the analyse is and will stay "to me MS will support x360 as long as Sony will support PS3." whatever happen.
