Nooo 360 beaten by PS3. Well since the holidays are over.........and since 360 has been selling on 2008 prices this whole time (!).......they will cut the price in 2012. Sooner the better.

But seeing 3DS vs Vita sales puts a smile on my face


Cheapest 360 in Holiday 2008 was $299 (Price cut from $349 20GB). Nowadays you can get one for $200. That isn't 2008 price.

THANK YOU!! Finally.

good lord, we can all pretend Microsoft hasn't actually cut the price "officially" but we all know they keep shuffleing their sku's around, coming out with the slim, adding larger hard drives, bundling Kinect, games, and all of that now is the same price, (or less depending on the bundle) than the 360 was in 08.

. but yeah no pricecut since 2008..

seriously,it's not "pretend",look at PS3's price from 2008 to 2011,you should know why they said 360 just no price cut

PS3's sku isn't still 60 or 80 GB and looks large right?

PS3 HD sizes are growing, but everything else keeps beeing downgraded: less usb ports, matte case, no leds, smaller fans ....

X360 slim had more value for the same price: build wifi, more usb-ports, Kinect power port ... And in europe X360 had a small price cut last year: the glossy 250GB SKU was replaced by the cheaper matte 250GB SKU.

ms reduced the number of leds, downgraded the quality of the dvd drive, cheaper plastic, one larger fan instead of 2 smaller ones.

Sony improved reliability, used less power, made it smaller. If you consider more usbs and ports more of an advantage than the inherent "running better", then I will respect your thoughts on it, but you must surely consider that running better and using less power, and being 100$ cheaper is an improvement.

Sure MS keeps adding things, but they don't actually lower the price. They just replace the components with newer smaller ones and keep the price the same.

Well, except the disc drive. The new one is pretty shit.

Point being, Ms going smaller saves them a LOT of money. So what do they do? They give you some components that probably cost them 5$ total, where they are saving maybe 20% of their previous costs. This is a good argument how?
