lol. No WAY they'll use price as a weapon. $$$$ is the only way they've stayed in business so long. Write off losses, bribe devs... Still, I suppose you may as well throw it around...
Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

Or 360 with 3-4 games. So, in reality, the only factor, you mentioned, that has effect in reality, is free online on PS3. |
Your avatar is too hairy for you to have a valid opinion.
Tease.
MS could use price cuts to keep alive XB360, but touting to manage to surpass PS3's weekly sales thanks to them would expose XB360 to a deadly risk in case the tactic fails, so they'll keep a lower profile than what they got us used to. Don't expect a Zune hype about price cuts, they don't want a Zune end for XB360.
Another one of these fucking threads? You could probably search yesterday's threads for one just like this and added your article to that.

Be nice, this one is endorsed by an anal-yst 
Price is a huge advantage for the 360 especially in NA where consumers shop without bias. A $50 price drop will keep MS well ahead of Sony in NA for the rest of this year.
Price drops in areas where consumers hold a heavy bias against you won't help as much, but in Europe it's helped, especially in the UK it's helped keep Microsoft on even footing.
Wii does not sell because of the price difference
Microsoft should be focusing on the experience offered by the 360, not the price

It's not that consumers shop without bias here, it's that they don't care as much about evidence of hardware quality.
Hey, what's wrong with that 360 button in the pic in the OP? I've never seen one with 4 green lights.
Sony should go balls to the wall and drop to $299/$399 for two models, realizing they are going to increase install base and profit long term. MS couldn't stand up to a $299 PS3.
If they want to attack the wii, I think that they need something more than a pea shooter...........against the PS3, I think it may swing some potential buyers of multiplat games, but not a whole bunch.........10-15k difference?

You do realize that a price cut like that would literally kill any chance of profitability for Sony's game department(also any chance of the PS3 actually realizing a profit at all). While MS is making money off of the 360, so a price cut is acceptable for them, Sony is still losing money on the PS3 and a price cut would cause them to lose a boatload more on it.
