We've seen the leaks Phil, it won't surprise people.

$99 xbox

how will sony respond?

can they?

Technically this would be a $100 price drop, right?

Man, I still can't believe it, it seems seriously hardball this late in the game. I understand the concern of the upcoming Wii U $100 price cut, but a $50 price cut to $150 compared to Wii U's $250 would still put Nintendo on the ropes.

I was expecting the PS3 Slim Slim to finally get that $50 price cut to $200, but at this rate I suppose they'll have to follow suit with $100 off just to keep up with the new 360.

It just seems strange, like they're trying to destroy their own next gen launches. $50 would've been enough for both as far as luring away potential Wii U buyers without harming their own launches too much.

they cant afford it... actually... thats never stopped them before.

If Microsoft can afford a $100 drop to $99, I can't imagine the PS3 can't afford a $100 drop to $150.

What they can't do is match a $99 price tag, but they've never attempted to match the 360 price, always just a little over.

It just seems strange for both of them, though. They're still selling gangbusters at practically pure profit. After this drop, they wouldn't be making much I dont' think.
