Snakenobi, there is no way that Kinect will have a $50 price-cut this soon. Not going to happen.
M$ is going to have a very easy time keeping above last years numbers until the 1-year mark of when they released the Slim. 360 sales were in the toilet last year until the Slim was released. After that, 360 dominated. With a price-cut, 360 may be able to stay even or slightly above last years numbers.
PS3 desperately needs a price-cut in NA. Hopefully all these exclusives spike PS3 sales, but it appears that America is pretty decided that they prefer 360 at this point.
Fudge-Pacter still seems to think the Wii is going to release an HD console within a year so which is why he can't predict whether there will be a Wii price-cut this year. That is sad. If the Wii was down 25% and still beating the 360 when it was up 40% there is no need to release a Wii 2 yet. I don't know why Pacter doesn't get this... years sales and stocks might go up, but it would be a huge risk for Nintendo and could spell disaster if they release too early.

MS is going to have an easy time until June but will Kinect be the same new cool device,no it won't as its been on the market for one year by that times so they will need a booster and that they can easily provide.
Pachter doesn't think that a Wii HD will come now,he has said that Ninty will try to do something else and compete directly with PS4 and 720

1) Kinect came out in November 2010. It will be out a year in November 2011, not June 2011.
2) Kinect not being the new cool device anymore? Is that like the Wii not being the new cool device after it's first holiday in 2006? Where sales dropped off significantly in 2007? That's what happened, right???
