Why do analysts keep dogging the 360? It's pretty obvious that the Wii will have the lead shortly but I don't see how a price drop to $400 in 2008 is going to help Sony that much when MS can easily drop the 360 price to $200/300 and still keep it profitable while Sony will continue to bleed money.
Why do we always hear about the price advantage of the Wii, Sony's soon-to-come price cuts, and nothing about MS's position to start aggressively competing with the Wii on a price level whenever they choose?
I don't think the 360 will end up anywhere near the Wii and I think the PS3 will ultimately gain ground on MS in 2009 and beyond, but I don't see how it will be enough to actually surpass the 360 in WW sales. By 2009, the 360 will be $150/250 at most while the PS3 will be struggling to get to a $300 price point.
In short, anaylysts (Pachter in particular) don't know crap about the industry they continue to talk about.
