As of September 1, Microsoft...

Whilst it does have a stronger games library (and probably a stronger line-up coming up as well)...

 

Let me say this one more time WRONG!


My opinion agrees

Traditionally MS usually waits to see what effect Sony's move has had, then reacts.

That being said, the whole wifi dongle is now becoming an issue. With the ps3 at 299$, if you need wifi to feed internet to your 360 it puts every 360 sku above the ps3's price level.

Without Gold membership too.

Xbox is doomed to third place now.

But for damage control MS should drop the X360 120GB to $249 asap, and the X360 Arcade to $179 in North America.

The European prices should quickly be dropped to €199 for the X360 120GB, and Arcade to €149, or it's sales will drop like a sack of potatoes in countries like France, Italy, Germany and Holland.

 

Nah, the ps3 will outsell the 360 until the next 360 pricedrop.

We've been seeing the same pattern the whole gen, it's not gonna change. 

However, nothing is gonna save us from a good 6-8 months of the sony loyalists in here spamming everything as the upgrades sales numbers pump their morale ;)

there gonna have to go to 150$ or less on the arcade or the ps3 is going to do a killing

100$ price diff between the arcade and ps3, ps3 wins cause history showed us the ps3 was able to outsell the 360 WW wen the price diff was 120$ in 2007

Question: How is the PS3 in the 360's price range when it's still 100 dollars more than the arcade?

When Sony loyals argue about price for the last year, they always used the $199 Arcade as why the PS3 isn't selling out. Now that the PS3 knocked off $100, why are people are comparing it to the $299 Elite instead of the $199 Arcade?

arcarde + HDD 120gb and a year of live more expensive than ps3. and elite.

^^ This.

I don't even see the point in increasing the price of the arcade. It's only going to piss off customers. Glad I bought mine when it was still $200.

@ catfangs, that price increase is only in the UK
