CNN writes that “Sony could slash the price of the PS2, currently $150, perhaps to $100, making the $400 Xbox 360 seem less attractive. Sony says it has no immediate plans to lower pricing for either the PS2 or the PSP, but after the holidays, who knows?”

Will Sony make the Holiday price cut? If they choose to do so, will it succeed in slowing the Xbox 360’s enormous momentum? The assumption of this article is that gamers will be more willing to forgo $100 for a dated console than plunk down the $400 for a next-gen console. I doubt consumers will be that stingy over the Christmas shopping season.
