Not only is NGC and PS2 the same price, but the PS2s controllers cost like 10 bucks less now and the memory card price drop makes NGC's memory cards even more of a rip off

"I don't think GameCube would drop it's prices now.. it's a bit too early for that.. I mean, it would be smart business to drop NGC's price a bit, but we'll have to wait and see what comes out of all of it."

There has been talk that if PS2 drops it's price to 200 instead of 250 (which they have) and then XBox has to do the same (which they might), NGC would be sitting there with no price advantage and still a fairly low ammount of good games, and good games coming out still at a fairly slow pace, and Nintendo might have to drop the price a bit as well...

I mean, NGC just started pulling ahead of Xbox in the sales after Xbox had been leading for awhile, so Xbox still has a small lead in the overall sales I think... if Xbox has to drop it's price to 200 (maybe even earlier than they expected, which is around E3, although it wouldn't be much earlier), it could pull ahead of NGC again in the weekly sales and NGC's sales could drop...

See what I'm saying? That's why IGN and videogames.com have been talking about a possible "Major price war" or something for the past... little while, and now it looks like the first step to starting one was taken
