If they can really make a small enough 360 to run $99 then the PS3 will look at dropping down to $150 in response. The new slim never got a price cut and $150 is probably the lowest it can go without loss on hardware. I would think Sony wouldn't want it to be more than $50 than 360. I wonder how compact this rumored 360 can be. Wii size?


It all depents on if they actually shrink the hardware and use 32nm chips or go the PS3 super slim route and just rearrange what's in the current 360S and put it in a smaller case and make it a top loader.

I would rather them drop to $199 than to 149.99. I think they will be fine with a $70 price cut. I want them to get as much profit as they can

hmm, not sure how I feel about a redesigned controller but hopefully the changes are minimal.
We've heard about this smaller 360 before, and it will be exciting to see what it will include.
I'm also glad they are getting rid of that points system which was silly to have in the first place.

I hope MS won't be stupid enough to use up even 10-15 minutes of their conference on a new 360 redesign. Nexbox should be the whole focus of the conference and should be the only console brought up.


This ^^

I wanna hear about next gen, not new versions of current gen

It looks like the article made an error they were talking about the 720 being smaller and denser than the 360 design.

LOL do you really think they'd upstage themselves?   It'll be there but as a footnote.

Ummm I find that hard to believe for a 1st gen 720 box.  They'll need the space just to cool the sucker.

RROD *shudder*

Actually, what they said is that when they first wrote up the story they though it was the 720, but that was wrong and they've since corrected it. Thou misunderstood

If you thought releasing GT6 for the last gen console when the next gen console launches was bad, wait for this...


How is thar a bad move? A cheaper 360 would push sales in every market, especially in developing countries.
