When a competitor drops their price it's pseudo-related to the other consoles.

Particularly when so many people are convinced the other console only sells because of its lower. This gives the Wii an even better chance to prove otherwise.

Once the 360 with the hard-drive lowers in price I'll be sure to buy it. I've been waiting to have Wii60 for awhile.

  ~300USD
  
  The important thing to note though, is that the core 360 is now cheaper than the Wii.

Zeon, around $200-$225 Dollars I think, but Im not too sure, But anyway, that is extremely cheap, I can see a rise in 360 sales coming on. I might even buy one for myself at that price. How much cheaper is this than the Ps3 at the minute ?
