The release of Call of Duty Black Ops 2 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Call-Duty-Black-Ops-PS3/dp/B007WPF7FE) isnt too far away now, without doubt the biggest release of the year has spurred the giants of console making out their corners to start an early round of price cuts aimed at taking the heat off the soon to be released WiiU console (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Wii-32GB-Premium-Pack/dp/B008B5YB4W/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1350334019&sr=1-1).
GameStop (http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-360/consoles/xbox-360-250gb-holiday-bundle/104892), Amazon (http://tinyurl.com/9tjdelc), and Wal Mart (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Xbox-360-4GB-Kinect-Tiger-Woods-Bundle/20920860) have all lowered the prices of their 4GB Kinect and 250GB hardware bundles. The 4GB Kinect bundles and some non-Kinect 250GB systems have fallen from $299 to $249. The 250GB Kinect systems have been cut from $399 to $349. At least one limited edition console also appears to be included in the sale, as GameStop and Amazon are offering preorders of the Halo 4 250GB Xbox 360 bundle (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Limited-Edition-Halo-Bundle/dp/B003O6JIFA/ref=sr_tr_sr_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350333810&sr=8-1&keywords=Halo+4+Xbox+360)for $349, down from a $399.
Sony last week released their latest version of the PS3 a Superslim version with 12GB Flash memory (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-12GB-Super-Console/dp/B009DL2TBK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1350333961&sr=8-3) instead of a hard drive and a top loader disc drive instead of the fed into system. Retailing at £159 its sure to drive much needed extra sales
Finally Nintendo have also added to the early sales by announcing it has begun shipping a new Wii hardware bundle that sells for $129.99 (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-10-15-nintendo-cuts-wii-price-to-USD129), and includes a black Wii console as well as Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort on one disc.
