PS2 didn't hit $100 until 9 years after its release. I highly doubt the 360 would hit $100 after just 5.

You didn't hit $2 until 18 years after release.



Tease.

The competition this generation is far greater and so the price reductions will likely be accelerated for that reason.

they can, depending at which point they want to outsell the PS3 this holidays season :

drop the price
market FM3 as hell
market FM3/CoD6 bundle as hell

At the end, even without these moves, Xbox360 will STILL keep selling good but may finish third of the holidays season.

that, despite being at the bottom of the heap the 360 is still selling very well.  while MS could drop the price to increase sales i really don't think they need to at this point.  they have already guarteened a place as major contender this gen and that isn't going to change.  droping the price now will just make the launch of natal more difficult which is more important to MS imo.

Add a 20GB HD to the Arcarde, and bundle the Elite with 2 games, one arcade title/small game with a big franchise/popular title.

We know that already (Halo: Reach?).



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

well considering the ps3's price was reduced by 300 or half the original amount after only 3 years, anything is possible.

i doubt MS would cut the arcade to $99 anytime before 2011 though, if they do then it's going to sell like a million every week.

They can't do that. 

There's been barely any kind of major motherboard optimizations so they just save on the silicon and only when they hit a new node.

Speaking of which, their foundry has had a reliable 45nm process for quite some time already and yet there's not even a rumor about a new revision. Maybe the valhalla rumors were true - that kind of operation takes quite some more time than just hitting a new node.
