150 dollars sounds a little low for a super high tech next-gen console...

So what if they do. That\'s the way it goes when you have to compete.

Sony controles the prices of its consoles as well as the others.  Point made.

Microsoft already was losing money with every x box sold and now Sony made them lose even more.

As for GC I dont know whats up with it how much it cost to make it I will have to look into it.

Xbox dropped first...and as all consoles go, they all lose money on them in the beginning.  They make up for it in software and eventually turn a profit on the hardware.  It took Sony nearly 2 years to break even with PS2...

As competition goes, you do what you have to.  IMO, the price drop won\'t effect Xbox until more games come out...

Announcing  they will drop price is different from actually doing it.

Make it up in software sales?  Last report I checked x box accounted for 1% of all software sales.

What\'s your point?

Again, what\'s your point?  Software sales is where the money is...an immediate turn around (or in 8 months) is not realistic.

Damn, too soon IMO. Gamecube wasn\'t selling that poorly for a price drop. Must they always be less than the competition? Oh well, I still can\'t afford two systems, I can\'t see how some people do it... Maybe if I can get a used GC for like 99 bucks it may be an option but for now I just gotta stick with my PS2 which I have no problems with.

I really don\'t care about them lowering the price of the console.  That\'s just a one time fee.  I wish they would lower the price of the actual games a little :(
