How far will PS360 drop in price when next gen hits?

[Cerveza mas fina]

I can see the PS3 being 179/199 in Europe for a while more, just with a few pack ins. (179 Fifa 2014 pack prob)

I think MS might drop the 360 price to 149 in Europe just to clear stock (won't work).

[Cerveza mas fina]

Euro.

But you know, the poll is crap, but the question stands!

I don't expect the PS3 to drop much more in price. The components in it are still fairly expensive and I doubt we'll see a new hardware revision.

Ya I don't expect much of a price drop too soon.

If they drop to 149 its to help clear stock, and will have the added effect of hurting the Wii U if its price hasn't become more sensible.
If they keep it high it might be because they need a large proportion of their margins to come from the current machines.

I could see either happening, but I think they're both really cheap in the UK atm anyway, going cheaper in the States would 'normalise' things in my eyes.

I can see 360 and PS3 hurting next-gen sales if they continue to sell long term... DS did the same to 3DS. It would have been a gamble on margins, but it might have been best to have cleared the stock pipeline by Summer IMO. Give consumers little choice.

Is there any word on that xbox tv thing which is basically a mini 360 with no disc drive?

I think last word on that was that it's been sacked.

Now what am I gonna connect to my Xbone along with my HD-DVD drive to form the Xbone Megazord?

Uhm, A Wii U?

I could see the PS3 dropping to $199 in the US.  I'm hoping it does, actually.

That's a good call, for once. Jesus; what a way to dilute the brand and undermine the Xbone effort.
