PS3 destroys 360 in others.

While Legend is obviously acting on his bias towards the 360, he makes a very good point. The Ps3 has just recently met the consumer range of price comfort with the 40GB model where as the 360 has been at that range since launch. The consumer market willing to pay that much for a console is meeting its saturation point for the 360 console while there is still plenty of room to that threshold for the PS3. The 360 would only have to drop its price once more to expose a new strata of consumers who have been holding off.

I agree with what you say to a certain degree, but seeing as the PS3 costs £299 RRP in the UK (there is no 60Gb model anymore) and there are 3 models for the 360 (Arcade, Premium & Elite) and their prices are £199, £279 & £299 respectively.  So surely there is a whole range of consumers willing to spend £199 on a home console moreso that £299, yet sales of the PS3 are continuing to rise while sales of the 360 are getting smaller.

On a personal note, I feel that the Arcade model is a complete waste of time and I wouldn't be surprised to see it disappearing pretty soon.  So MS have to effectively drop the RRP of the Premium and Elite models significantly for there to be any large shift in sales.  I would expect a drop to £199 and £179 for the Elite and Premium to make big changes.
