The battle between Microsoft and Sony could see gamers walk away with some real bargains later this year. Retail sources have told Spong.com that Sony are planning on undermining the launch of the Xbox 360 by slashing the price of the slimline PS2 to just £60 in the U.K. The sources say that the price reduction will probably be worldwide, with the console slashed to about $100 in the U.S.
Nintendo may also get in on the 360-spoiling with a price cut for the GameCube:
It was also claimed that Nintendo will make a similar move with its GameCube console, backed and buoyed by the release of the new Zelda game Twilight Princess, slated for launch in late summer. Official double bundle packs featuring Resident Evil 4 and Mario Kart are also expected.
“You can expect significant reductions in the price of everything this Christmas, but most noticeable will be the PlayStation 2,” our well-placed source told SPOnG. “We’ve been briefed to expect a price as low as £60 beginning at the start of December. Sony’s probably looking at a global price cut – around $100 in the States and a serious Platinum range announcement too.”
