A 99 dollar 360 would out sell the wii and it would kill the PS3.
even a 149 dollar 360 would out sell the wii and PS3

VITA 32 GIG CARD.250 GIG SLIM & 160 GIG PHAT PS3

Why would it drop to $99? I can't think of a single console in the past 9 years that hit $99 besides the GC.

MS is raking in major profit on each 360 sold. They're not going to sacrifice the $50+ they make per system sold (and their selling quite nicely at the moment) just so they can try and catch Nintendo, something that would never happen anyway. Hell, at $99 they'd probably be selling the things at a loss again.

Dreamcast fool! And if you didn't pick one up for that price, shame on you!

I think what it comes down to is... Wii has the best fucking bowling game money can buy. Unless the 360 gets some sort of motion device and a bowling game Microsoft might as well wrap it up and cut their losses.
