*fixed* I'm referring to them being able to cut their price in a very short period of time in a sustainable way in order to counter MS, assuming this "report" is true. |
As already posted, Sony cut the price by US$100,00 basiically for 3 years in a row (and took a big financial hit for it), but yes they could cut strongly if needed, but I really doubt Sony and MS will play a cut price war... Sony cutted because it had poor sales and knew the console wasn't interesting/affordable to a lot of people at the time, not because MS was selling better (and that is why MS didn't cut as much, because they were satisfied with their selling rate and profit margins). Unless MS is obligated to cut because of poooooor sales them I don't see them doing it, and Sony would answer with a cut just if MS rise took to much from them, after all both are in the bussiness for the money not the numbers.
