| gebx said: 1) Price cuts - Where is the NA Price Cut? its April, a couple weeks before GTA IV and no news or rumours of price cuts on the horizon.. and since MS sucks at keeping secrets this basically means that there is no price cuts on the horizon. So lets compare Sony's price cuts vs. MS's Price cuts - $200 vs. $50... Woah MS! That's really impressive for a system thats been out a year longer!! <--sarcasm |
The US was already getting the system for really cheap compared to the rest of the world so its price cuts would be less overall then the rest of the world. The US dollar has gone down alot since the 360 came out so in a way they have given the US a price cut. The 360 has also seen price cuts of $150 in Canada on the Pro model in the last 8months or something.
The PS3 has not really seen a $200 price cut in the US, the 60gb unit was launched at $600, while a gimped 40gb unit is now selling at $400. That would be like Microsoft getting rid of the Pro and only having the arcade and saying its a $200 price cut. If you add the $400 40gb PS3, the PS2 at $130, add in another 20gb HDD and ad more USB ports. You find out that both companies have cut the price of their system $50 since launch.
