Sony Unconcerned About Xbox 360 Price Cuts

**MIG-31** · Sep 5, 2008, 04:02 PM

Microsoft's recent move to reduce Xbox 360 prices across the board may turn out to be especially significant for the console wars. It means that for the key holiday season, the mass-market Xbox 360 Arcade SKU is less expensive than the Wii -- and Wii may see additional challenges from supply constraints. And with both consoles now entering the $200 "inflection point" analysts say has historically helped spread console sales to new audiences, has Xbox 360 opened a competitive gulf over the PlayStation 3?

They should be, considering they have made the new ps3's non-backwards compatible. They did this on purpose because they dont care about you and I, the consumer.
