Microsoft quiet on Xbox 360 price cut, waiting for old stock to disappear? |

I fully expected Microsoft to follow Sony's PS3 price cut announcement with one of their own for the Xbox 360 Elite. Some rumors about an Elite price drop have been floating around for a while now, but we heard nothing of the sort during Microsoft's GamesCom conference.
According to a report from MCV, Microsoft has considered delaying the price cut announcement while they wait for "unusually high stock levels" of the Arcade and Elite models to fly off retail shelves. Microsoft has also apparently told retailers about a new SKU, although it's not clear if this is the price-slashed Elite or another SKU altogether.
This supposedly comes from a national electronics retailer in the UK, so things might be different in the US, where some print ads about the price cut have already been seen.
Another possibility -- this is just idle speculation, mind you -- is that Microsoft is confident enough that its current pricing scheme will keep it from losing ground to Sony in terms of market share.
Any thoughts, guys?

You are right because ps3 now is gaining its lost momentum in the console war. and now there's no way x360 will outsell ps3. actually it never did, people say it did because of monthly sales but if u put all the sales together ull see that even x360 with a year ahead of ps3, they both are near eachother... now if microsoft slashes $100 from all their versions (except arcade) they'll just go the way they used to be before... with a $100 price difference people will buy the cheapest system. same games, same graphics. only difference is price, again.
AMEN
