PS3 Will Outsell Xbox 360 This Holiday If Microsoft Doesn't Cut Price - Pachter
In a soon to be published "Pachter's Podium" Q&A, the analyst called the holiday battle between the two high-definition consoles a "close call."
"IF Microsoft does nothing, I think PS3 will outsell Xbox 360," he told IndustryGamers. "However, my friends at Microsoft are extremely proud, and they absolutely refuse to tolerate the possibility that the PS3 will outsell the Xbox 360. I think they have the ads printed for the Xbox 360 price cut, and will drop them on us the instant they see PS3 sales greater than 360 sales."
He added, "In the meantime, I think we'll see a reduction in the price of the Xbox 360/Kinect bundles (similar to Wal-Mart's "goof" last weekend), and Microsoft will use that to keep the PS3 at bay until they decide whether to match price for the console only."
Microsoft has been in the driver's seat this year, but a price cut seems likely to us. What do you think? Is a 360 price drop needed?

Kentuxx-City-YoshiHolgate Xbox is still cheaper anyway with better online features
wrong with the free-online on ps3 you still dont have to buy membership, so you save money over the years.
He said better features, just because PSN is free doesn't mean it's better than xbl, it just means it's cheaper. Xbl is better, xbox > PS3
agreed. xbox is way more advanced than ps3. end of discussion

4gb kinect bundle 299? Waste of money
160gb ps3 249 smart.
Pointless comment, your comparing a bundle deal (Xbox/Kinect) with a PS3 (just the console).
There's a reason it's 50 more, plus you'll probably get a free game with the Kinect saving even more money.
Think before you post.
Kinect isnt that great anyway, everyone who has bought it has only used it for a couple minutes and then it started to collect dust.
If it is that shitty you can still sell it for 100 bucks and only loose 20 bucks.
