The Xbox360 is rumored, from a Russian site, to have a price drop on the way. If the 360 has a price drop of $50, what do you think the potential outcome would be? Keep in mind, GTAIV is right around the corner, and the 360 will couple this with a huge exclusive content push.
I will be the first to admit this. If the PS3 DOES NOT CUT PRICE it will be in deep shit. GTAIV and Madden during the summer, the 360 could be sitting pretty without a response from the PS3. However, if both consoles cut price by $50, what do you all think would be the result?
BTW, that would put the Pro at $299 and the 40gb at $349. I dont count the Arcade because it wont be able to access the DLC, but still $229 is cheap, and you get to play GTAIV. For those who dont care about DLC, that would be a good deal.
I am usually optimistic about the PS3 and sales, but I can't say with confidence anymore that the PS3 will benefit the most from GTA.
Shoulda just done this from the start, lol: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=10047378&postcount=1
