Microsoft exec predicts Sony will be forced to cut PS3 prices

[wraggster]

After a couple weeks in which the 360 posted better sales numbers than the PS3 and it was revealed that Sony inadvertently funded Microsoft's next-gen development efforts, you'd think Microsoft execs would be getting a little $#@!y, but it sounds instead like they're expecting a renewed offensive from Sony based on price. That's direct from the 360's director of product management Aaron Greenberg, who told Edge that MS "absolutely expects" a PS3 price cut in the next few months, and that the team is "frankly surprised it's taken this long." Of course, we've been hearing tons of PS3 pricing speculation from all corners lately with no change to that $399 MSRP, so we'll see how it goes.

I wish Sony was in better shape; I'd love to see them cut the price to 150 dollars and mop the floor with MS's fat head.

Alas, cutting edge technology with A+ manufacturing quality doesn't come cheap.

But I guess that's why MS is paying billions in a now, damn near no questions asked warranty program.
