I'm not so sure that MS needs to cut prices. If the ugle PS3 Slim2 is real it may stay the same price. The Wii U isn't a guaranteed hit. MS can cut prices at any time, but I don't think MS will unless they have to. If the PS3 gets a price cut and the Wii U is a hit then MS can react with a price cut at that time.

A PS3 price cut is guaranteed. They can't sell the 16GB model for the same price they are selling the 160GB one today. They'll at least sell the 16GB model for $199 while keeping the other two &249 and $299.

I feel like the 16GB model will be $149 and then the other two will be $200 and $250.  Because if the pictures comparing the sizes of the new ps3 model are correct, then I believe the production cost will be cut down by a lot.  Especially with no automatic disc load and eject, considerably less materials, and most likely a lot smaller fan, cell, power supply, etc.
