That's just crazy. I only read what the 360 drops is and $100? That's so weird but the PS3 is going up? Weird.

if the xbox360 gets a price drop then it would even make it more cheaper than the ps3 so the 360 will win for sure.

Gameman54 · 22-04-2006, 08:32 AM

But the PS3 will go up. That's a problem.

Gamerkid360 · 22-04-2006, 09:11 AM

Yeah kinda like PGR 3 I bought it for $60 and a week later at target theres a deal new for only $32.99

Daboy · 22-04-2006, 02:42 PM

that sucks i paid 280 when i could have possibly paid 180

Don_Rico · 22-04-2006, 03:01 PM

Meh. There is no way I can see this happening.

Jacksmith28 · 22-04-2006, 03:38 PM

When the PS3 comes out it WILL drop. But $100? That would be the end of sony and nintendo.

Gameman54 · 22-04-2006, 05:26 PM

Exactly! We kids and teenagers know abuot economy too you know.

ah no if the 360 drops to $100 then thats the end of Microsoft not Sony or Nintendo...

Microsoft already loses money selling the 360 at the price it is and theres no need to drop the price if the demand is still as high as it is...
People its all about Supply and Demand

Gameman54 · 23-04-2006, 05:35 AM

he has a point.

ghost3 · 23-04-2006, 09:09 PM

yes, you do have a good point about the supply and demand, but if microsoft would drop the price, then really boost up the production and sell twice as many xbox 360's than they would have, and take that many more people away from sony, then that's 2x's the amount of games and accesories that they sell and that's where they make their money. so really they would make a lot of money if they drop the price when the ps3 comes out.

Im not sure what you meant to say but you said the 360 is going to drop to $100. That isnt correct. It will be $299 instead of $399. Just wanted to point that out in case you were confused. Sorry if you meant to say $100 off of the original price, I dont want to pick on such an insignificant mistake.

Honestly, I don't see a a $100 price drop $50 is possible but honeslty, they really don't need to drop the price due to the PS3 launch because it's gonna be around $600-$650 will make the $400 360 premium look like a great deal.

Gameman54 · 24-04-2006, 03:24 PM

Exactly! It would look like the PS3 and the nintendo Revoulution look too expensive and a joke.

Wingman1977 · 24-04-2006, 03:35 PM

The Revolution is going to be less than the 360 core.

Gameman54 · 24-04-2006, 03:41 PM

Really? You mean less than thecore now or when it goes down? I think you mean now though.

Correct. Less than what the core costs now.

I see what you're saying, but that isn't completely true. Every company loses money on the console early on and make it up with accesories and games. So it wouldn't necessarily hurt MS that much. Remember, the 360 has the highest atatch rate of games and accesories of any console, so they could be easily making up that money. We'll see, their financial report is in May I believe.

But I can defenately see what you are saying-the 360 is still selling at $400. Why lower the price if you can still move units at a higher price? I think MS will wait until Sony and Nintendo's price points are revealed. If Sony launches around 400-450, I could see a $50 price drop on each. Then the core could compete with the revo and the 360 would beat the ps3's price by 75-100 bucks.

I really think it depends on what Sony does though.
