360 costs

[geo85]

Nothing is certain but with the way things are looking now the 360 is not going to sell like hot cakes, they will sell, but not as much as M$ will like. Look at the dreamcast, they blew off the shelves so fast sega couldn't make them fast enough, then once people heard about the ps2 dreamcast sales halted so sega dropped the price and dropped it again, I think that around the release of the ps3 M$ will drop price so people will be more inclined to get a 360 because sony will be charging its full 4-450 price as compared to around maybe 3-320 for the 360. Thats simple marketing logic, thats probably one of the reasons they wanted the 360 to be out so far ahaead of sony.
Plus by the release of the ps3 the 360 should be on model 2 which is supposedly going to have full backwards compatibility.
