Maybe slim versions of ps3/360 at e3 with price drop, and new console tease; Console announcements at gamescom.

Would it be profitable for Sony and MS to launch a third interation of their consoles?

Price drops are likely though.


They can do a combination of the both, wouldnt it make more sense for them to make it cheaper for a slimmer version?

To introduce a second slim version of each console would require the creation of new moulds and production lines, and they may not create any more sales than a price drop would. It isn't impossible, I was just thinking it may be an unnecessary expense.

Yet Sony was able to cut nearly 100$ off of their production when they moved to the 40GB, which isn't called the ps3slim, fyi.

Although I will say that Sony has less room to maneuver in terms of their hardware, 360 has a ton of space in a console, and the ps3 is pretty tightly packed. Unless newer parts are much smaller, I don't realy see a slim in the works, unless they move to a portable harddrive or an ultra thin blu ray tray.
