A relatively cheap PS3 Slim is inbound. Let's talk Microsoft's response.

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 ;)

Yep. If PS3 does not start outselling the 360, I would be VERY surprised. Should make the forums busier.

Well, MS conference tomorrow will be very interesting.

Expect them to officially announce the Pro being dead, and a slight Elite pricecut.

Halo 3 + Halo 3: ODST bundles are likely, and possibly a Forza 3 bundle.

@Catfangs

The weakness of the pound in relation to the Euro, Yen and Dollar are the reason for the price increase in the UK.

entry PS3 price
299 euros = $424 USD

entry xbox 360
179 euros = $253 USD
159 pounds = $262 USD (assuming the increase from 129 pounds)

I don't think it will make as big a difference in Europe as alot of you may think.
