Sony can lower the price of PS3 more than MS can lower the price of X360? Come on, dont be ridiculous! PS3 originally cost more than double the X360 to produce (over $800 vs below $400) and no matter what, X360 will be less of economical concern for MS than PS3 is for Sony. Plus, MS is dropping the price by only a $50 margin, while Sony by a $100 margin. In short, Sony is giving up more on a much more pricy console.
So what now? At optimum case, 360 costs around $300 to produce now (with the new model introduced), and MS breaks even. PS3, on the other hand costs no less than $700 and causes around $200 of loss per unit
