 Er how? no better games yet oh wait maybe next year lol.

You might not be a fanboy, but you did swallow sony's übertech themed marketing. The cell might be good at crunching folding@home units, but as far as gaming is concerned it hasn't proved to have any kind of significant advantadge.

The cell.. is.. LIVING !

No wait.. in either case, have you not seen the ps3 exclusives ? and most developers claim they havent even gone deep in yet. Infact most statements say "the spus swollow everything we throw at em" .. hehehehe

I was under the impression that 360 sales are up YOY. If that's so, they dont need to cut price as much as some people seem to believe. Really, though, they aren't getting beaten badly by Sony in NA and that was all they really wanted from the start. They are, therefore, in a position to make up for some of the billions of dollars invested in the brandname.

That is the problem with all the analysts.  They have very little understanding of technology or popular culture.

I agree with his conclusion, but he does not cite proper evidence to conclude what he concludes.

Yep, I'd have to agree mostly. $50 is definitely worth the Bluray drive alone. Let alone you get wifi and 20gb more. The other differences are either non-existent or highly debatable.

Now that the mutliplat games are basically equal between the two and the PS3 having more features, 360 really needs to be at least $100 less. Otherwise people with an HDTv are just not informed if they purchase a 360 over the PS3. Soon, they will have the same DLC and you get the Bluray player in the PS3.

As for exclusives go, meh. I personally really only care for Nintendo's exclusives. I could buy 360's on the PC and think there are only a couple on the PS3 I would really like. God of War, MGS4, ... I am not too sure on the others.

But yeah, I still think that once the 20gb models are gone, MS will drop the price to $299 for the 'new' premium model. Thus probably $199/$229 for the arcade and $379/$399 for the elite. This should happen before October.

and so we wait and wait.

these devolepers are the problem not the cell lol.

I agree with the bolded, but if MS doesn't decide to price cut and just focus on profitablity, the PS3 will catch up much faster than expected. So far, this year has been like a snowball effect for the PS3. If MS doesn't do anything to stop the momentum soon, it will be to little to late and MS won't be able to keep their promise to finish this gen ahead of the PS3 (might not be able to hold out in front by next year's E3)

No they don't. They know Nintendo is out of their league, and a price cut RIGHT NOW would only mean less profit, and a price cut from Sony, most likely. They will look closely at their sales, and if they are going down further (what is to be expected at least by me) they cut price, in Oktober/November, if they are not going down to low, they make it next year. That time makes way, way, way more sense. By that time, a price cut can be done, without hurting profitability too much (2 new chips are on the way!) And Sony can not respond in the middle of the Christmas sales. And we both know, Christmas is the time this business gets serious. Getting there a boost and mass attention is way more worth than right now.
