| NightDragon83 said: The recent price drop for the PS3 was kind of sudden and was announced without much fan fare or big releases / exclusives... I had assumed they would do it closer to the holidays around the time of big releases like Uncharted 3 to really boost sales. Plus not all retailers dropped their prices at the same time... some took longer than others, and some still haven't dropped it at all. Next year I expect another $50 price drop to $199 for the 160GB core model (or whatever low end model they have) to coincide with the release of the Wii U, which probably won't be more than $299 at launch, and I expect the 360 to be down to $149 by that time as well to keep their $50 price difference over Sony going. |
Agree with you about the drop to $199 next year around the launch of the Wii U (I think that will end up costing more in the line of $349). However, I think MS will probably just discontinue the cheap 360 and go with one 250GB model at $199.
