Im made this thread because of the threads made lately. On how the 360 is LONG overdue for a price cut while Leo-J just made a thread about a PS3 price cut. 

360 front:

Possible price cut because:

-Long overdue

-Would want to drain some hype on the WiiU (Respect 4 Nintendo)

-More sales 

-Break Ps3 yearly winning streak

Price cut not possible becuase: 

-Dont want to decrease revenue

-Must cover the R&D budget for the next gen console

-A $99 xbox was already released in America (WTF??)

-Xbox super slim

____________________________

Ps3 front:

Possible price cut because: 

-Sell like pancakes

-Overtake the 360

-Drain Hype on WiiU (Respect 4 Nintendo)

Price cut not possible becuase: 

-The past price cut wasnt even a year old

-Kaz said that he wanted profit for the company by the end of the year (He did right?)

-Ps3 super slim

-Cover the R&D cost for Ps4

________________

Ill add more reasons on both fronts. 

Discuss. 

(Message to Leo-J: It doesnt make sense to cut the price of the Ps3 before an OFFICIAL announcement has been made because it would be a waste of revenue for the retailers)  

360

Microsoft has been making profit on this hardware for a while, a price cut is long overdue.

Not to say a PS3 price cut would be unheard of, but as much as people like to point out that PS3 hardware is profitable, the division it's in isn't even making money.

Xbox 360. Long overdue.

PS3 is the most likely

The X360 IMO, for the simple reason that even with increased R&D costs Microsoft can actually afford it.

360

would be shocked to see a ps3 one since the last one was about 10 months ago

Both should get a price cut. I also doubt we will see a super slim of either console since the next generation is just around the corner.

Xbox 360

It hasnt even been a year since the last PS3 one. It looks suspicious given the PS3 is selling very well so far.

But even though I must commend MS for holding its lead while not price dropping for FOUR YEARS......longer then the origional xbox was even out......a marvel in itself, I just want them to do it allready!

I think the 360 is due, but I don't think MS will do that yet. They want to show you why there is so much value in the Xbox.

I think Sony wants to keep their momentum going. They are having a good year, might as well keep it going.
