Is the rumored XBOX 360 price drop on the horizon?

The guys over at Teamxbox.com has gathered some evidence and presents it in a rather convincing manner.  When you read what they posted it makes since that a price drop is immanent and I truly believe it would be a blow to the Sony camp as well.

 

Is there an Xbox 360 price drop on the horizon? Recent reports suggest so. The Seattle Times asked Microsoft’s Chief Executive about the potential of a price cut for the Xbox 360 to which Ballmer said: "I think every console in the world has had a price decrease sometime in the first few years. I don't know whether we'll have a price decrease in the first few years, and I don't want to comment on that, but I will highlight for you that every console has had a price decrease in the first few years."

But the strongest hint of a price drop comes from the other side of the ocean, to be more precise from the U.K., where wholesale retail chain MAKRO is currently selling the Xbox 360 Premium Edition for the price of a Core, at only £199.99. The Inquirer got a scan of the ad that shows the “breakthrough price” at which MAKRO is selling the Xbox 360 Premium.
