Next gen consoles (if we can stil call them that) are soon to be a year old, and it only seems as though it was several weeks ago when these consoles were top of every kid’s Christmas list last year. Well, now Christmas is round the corner again, it’s unfortunate to see that neighbourhood Sony or Microsoft have dropped their prices on these consoles.

You’re still going to have to pay around the £400 mark for both of these consoles with one game. Many people predicted that Microsoft would drop their prices to compete with Sony but they seem to be standing firm on their hardware, and it could take another year or so to see the priced dip significantly.

Sales will probably be booming once more this Christmas, but those part time gamers may be tempted to wait it out a little longer, and some people are still content with their ps3 and Xbox 360s.
