XBOX 360/PS3 both desperatly need pricecuts in order to keep with the Wii.

Maybe for PS3, but I don't think a 360 pricecut will do that much. It already has a model as much as the Wii, and that doesn't seem to make a difference, plus the console is a year older than the others so I think it is just reaching natural decline.

Kinect itself is like a new console. Which is $299 atm, that's what'll be pushing 360's this xmas, so lots of room for price cuts. If MS thinks it can put them at #1 WW then I'm pretty sure the price cut is going to do something good.

So are Wii with Balance Board and WiiMote Plus and PS3 with Move like new consoles too?

Nope. Move isn't catering to a new audience and balance board was catering to the existing one.

Quite a narrow criterium to define a new console, but I guess that providing them isn't the main goal of marketing buzz. But be it. What gen does it belong to?

I didn't say it was a new console, I said it's like one. Given that it's appealing to a brand new demographic, and as MS said, given the 360 a shot in the arm, that's pretty much true.
