Well, if true MS really out did themselves. Matching the PS3 price point with the Elite vs. the new 80 GB PS3. Microsoft is doing a great job a lowering prices they are setting a trend of when they should be lowered. Unlike, Sony who only lowered the price of the PS3 last year to combat abysmal sales. 360 sales have been steady so a price drop will only raise sales.

A $50 price drop in 2 1/2 years is a good job? 0_O

The K-mart ad is weird though.

It says Limited Quantities, then something after that, wonder what that means.

But this is more concrete proof.

It says Limited Quantities and I think it says No Rain-checks. This could just be a big sale with a temporary price cut.

Lol store nearly always put "limited quantities" in there to incourage people to rush out and buy the product in the first couple of days. Walmart always do this with there consoles when they advertise there stuff in sales papers

Yes, it is. Why lower the price when your sales are steady. As stated in my reply Sony lowered there price (last year) to combat terrible sales. The 360 and Wii haven't lowered their price points because their sales have been steady. As you notice as well since PS3 sales have steadied this year Sony hasn't announced a price cut.

Pffft.I'm sure the stagnent 360 sales,which has seen them outsold by PS3 almost every month in 2008,had NOTHING to do with the price drops.

 in germany retailers must say limited quantities. Otherwise they have to offer the advertised product for a certain time. when an advertised product is sold out, competitors can sue the retailer to advertise something not existing. But with the "limited quantities" they can't get sued. Don't know if its the same in the US though

Nintendo's sales have been steady. Starting a year earlier than the competition and being 10 million units less than three years later is not exactly a good thing.
