360 Costs Half As Much As PS3 By 2006?

Posted by Zonk on from the then-why-am-i-going-to-pay-through-the-nose? dept.

EGSonikku writes "According to Merrill Lynch, after doing a breakdown of hardware and manufacturing costs., the XBox 360 may end up as little as half the cost as Sony's PlayStation 3 by 2006. Citing Sony's financial woe's and Microsoft's deep pockets, they predict '...Microsoft's Xbox 360 should emerge as the early winner in the next round of the game console wars.'"

    Good ole Microsoft. Why don't they just leave gaming alone? Oh, i'm sorry, let me give them some credit. No one does FPS games better... than a PC. Gimme a freakin' break. If the 360 "wins" the next gen console wars, I'm offically no longer a gamer. Pen-and-paper is enough to hold me over until people see what a mess M$ has made of everything and people go back to selling games again.
