Re: Headlines - Microsoft's Xbox 360 price cuts to stir Sony and Nintendo into action

You gotta remember that the US price doesn't include sales tax (circa 8%) so the total price will be about $325 or £163. Everyone knows that you never get the comparative US price over here and £175 seems like a nice round number.

As for the Wii, are you sure that you're going to see price cuts at all? I'm not so sure...
Agreed. All those estimated prices are way too low. Plus i can't see any drops for the Wii, there's no need for them, if sales were slowing up, then yes, but their not. Also Nintendo have already warned the US market that stock may yet again be a little short this Christmas.

Sony have no real need for a drop just yet, they are selling well in Europe, what may happen is we will see some bundle deals coming from Sony.
