Not sure how reliable the source, but click here to read.

This is interesting news, and one has to wonder what Microsoft would say or think with PS3 price cut rumors.

Could it be? I must say that if this happens, the 360 would be doing a great job of keeping the PS3 down.

If PS3 does it first and then 360, that would be a huge slap to the face. A PS3 price drop is so valued by fans, but a 360 price drop that drops in out of nowhere would be such an A-Bomb to Sony. I personally own a PS3 and would hate to see it get hurt some more, but the consequences this rumor brings up are controversially great.

A $150 and $250 360 would mean the end of the PS3. $50 more would just be an insult. If the PS3 cut in April is down to $300, I'll probably look into buying one, it all depends on whether I want to wait to see if there is going to be a Team ICO bundle in 2010 or not and how much I want to play MGS4.

That's what I'm thinking too, but even the idea of MS cutting their price is interesting. I wouldn't be surprised, MS seems like the kind of company to stay on top of their competition. With the forums blazed in "MS has no games for 2009", this would undoubtedly be a great counter.

MS would bounce back since they are currently selling at a profit and could break even again by this holiday with Valhalla chipset and Halo ODST bringing in serious cash. Sony on the other hand will be selling at a greater loss and still be selling less then 360. If MS has the balls, they could really hurt sony with this.

Would it mean the PS3 would stay in third? Sure

End of the PS3? Not a chance.

loot ninja? if this is true that website will get so much traffic after it

anyway, i'd pick up an arcade 360 for $100, maybe even $130. get the few 360 games i can't play on my PS3, Wii or PC (uhh blue dragon, and errr,... NG2,... wait, BANJO! yes i really do sincerely want to play Nuts and Bolts, and if Fable 2 doesn't make it to PC that too, additionally if Bioware ups ME2 on PC specs and i can't run it, well the its on 360 for me, if all of this is true mind you)

360s for $100, that'd be killer, i don't know how it doesn't sell better than wii at $200 honestly (i prefer my wii to 360 BUT from a consumer point of view its got great games, great graphics, great all around and $100 to $130 is the real sweet spot for consoles)

although if the arcade and pro were $100-$200 and they stilll got outsold by Wii and PS3 or one of them in NA, then that'd break the 360 in terms of winning console wars

and at the end of this gen it will be a good fight between Wii and 360 on who ultimately had the better library (expect Wii sales to keep drawing ni the 3rd party exclusives hardcore gamers love like MH3, final fantasy rystal bearers, fatal frame, conduit, madwrolld, little kings story, klonoa, tales of: dawn of the new world, tales of 10, arc rise fantasia, no more heroes 2, DRAGON QUEST 10)

seriously if enough 3rd party devs take risks like capcom, namco, Enix has with moving MAJOR franchises to Wii with MAJOR series installments, then by 2012 Wii will have amassed a great library which could theoritically (dont flame me i'm not saying for sure but its possible) be better in a majority of hardcore gamers minds than ps3 or 360

i mean in 2002 alot of people thought Xbox, GCN had better potential for a better library than PS2, saying PS2 hardware was too limiting, blah blah (yea i know the hardware gap is bigger in this instance) but sales are sales guys. sales are where the HARDCORE games go. but i suppose fatal frame got nothing on that?

It would definitely take a huge chunk out of Sony's market share. A console that is less than half as expensive with basically the same capabilities and lineup?

Yeah, by that logic the Gamecube/original Xbox should have ceased to exist in comparison with PS2. At the same time, it's frustrating for PS3 fans to build up the PS3 in terms of price cut, great exclusives, etc, only to realize that it isn't changing a lot for Sony-- and on top of that, that MS could be dropping a bombshell.

I seriously doubt it, even if Sony cuts Ps3 price it's still going to be more expensive than 360.

ya but MS wants that price gap so Europeans keep buying 360s. NA the 360 can hold its own, but MS NEEDS that price gap for Europe cause they are more loyal to Sony consoles historically. They need a strong incentive to buy 360, and thats where the price gap comes in.

Highly unlikely, everyone is looking for profits right now with the economy the way it is. Dropping the price more might not make a big difference right now in sales, but anything is possible with Microsoft I never underestimate them. In all reality they could sell it for free with contract to subscribe to Live; just like phone companies do if they wanted.

itll also signal the impending release of the next generation. Prices usually fall before the next console is released. I have always had a personal prediction that the next xbox would be fall 2010. And I am more then certain MS will still do that. Hey, its a 5 year cycle (industry average), and they will keep selling 360 for as long as the market will allow. Pretty lethal business plan.

Well with the effort of PS3 and 360 cutting prices I say we revolt for Nintendo to get off it's high horse and get a price drop as well.

It's probably for the Elite. There have been alot of rumors saying that the Elite will be discontinued at around summer time so they're probably just trying to sell the rest of them by dropping to price from $399.99 to $299.99. I highly doubt that the other SKU's will be dropped in price but that would be great for me considering I'm cheap :D

But I kinda want an Elite anyways considering its black :) Nothing racist just matches my entertainment center 8)

Isn't it true that MS said they would keep the 360 a bit longer than usual? Besides, they are doing so well, I would think that they would try to juice out as much as they can from the 360. Understandably, the original Xbox was killed fast, but the 360 is a whole new monster.

Just conjecture at this point but murmurings in the ether sometimes can prove at least partly true. This does seem plausible, although what i can see MS doing is maybe increasing the features the arcade has, if they gave it say, a 10GB HDD but kept the price the same then perhaps it would look a little more attractive. Hell im sure MS could knock up 10BG by the bucket load for peanuts, most MP3 players have higher capacity. Either way they will make further in-roads into both Wii and PS3 territory.

Although it's a fine strategy from a sales perspective, M$ won't do it.

$199 for a 360 is already a steal, and cheaper than a Wii, M$ isn't going to devalue their platform for no reason.

Because it's rival will be the PS4, and common joe's will see : Xbox 5 is better than a PS4!

Just like marketing for the 360.

Id go with Xbox 362. 360 is popular enough, so build on that brand recognition. Make "36" green but the "2" orange.............since that would symbolize LIVE being upgraded as well.

"According to a GameStop employee"

Lulz.

Still, it does make some sense (except for the $100 price-cut part, it would probably only be $25-50). There was that rumour that MS is going to kill the Elite in favour of limited edition 360s (which would give MS the chance to give the entire 360 line-up a do-over), and at $300 the PS3 becomes a much more competitive product.

Dear god I hope it's not called Xbox 720.. Just keep it simple like Xbox 3 or damn X3 for that matter. Numbers are already confusing to me enough as it is :?

IT's going to be called X5. Why?

Because it's rival will be the PS4, and common joe's will see : Xbox 5 is better than a PS4!

Just like marketing for the 360.

XBOX 360 is more than a PS3!

The Xbox 360 has 60 more of something!

LOL

His logic is GENIUS

It would make total sense for MS to do it because if they could afford to give them out for free they probably would.

1. They would make money off of live

2. They could make more money off DLC

3. More money off of movies and shows.

4. More games sold = more money

The consoles themselves once sold are just vehicles for these companies to make more money.

The cool thing is M$ will come out and say, X5 is based on the amazing GPU and CPU combo, or an experimental airplane that they love, etc., so no one will be the wiser on the real reason.
