Let's see. This is the guy who said 64 bit games take twice as long to develop for as 32 bit games because they have twice the bits. This is the guy who said that World of Warcraft would fall down to 1 million subscribers in 2006. This is the guy who said that blu ray is going to be the reason Sony is number 1 this generation.

Well, I actually hope he's right. If Sony drops the PS3 to $500 I'll probably be able to get a 360 for $300.

I find it interesting, though, that the $500 PS3 didn't sell.

Sorry for the double post but no. Why would the 360 get cheaper if the PS3 gets cheaper? The 360 will get cheaper if Microsoft wants to sell more consoles with more of a loss.

I'm just guessing considering it's been a year and a half and we haven't seen a price drop on the 360 yet. How long does it take for consoles to drop their price normally?  Also, consoles tend to drop their prices pretty close to each other to remain competitive.  Assuming the PS3 did drop it's price it might put a dent in Microsoft's sales, they would probably need it.  They could also use it to compete agaisnt the Wii at this moment.  Plus, I read on these boards that they're not selling them at a loss any more.  I don't know if that's true, but considering it's been out so long--surely it must be cheaper for them to make by now?
