Still hitting the ring at Fight Night Round 4? Good news, slugger. EA Sports is sending another haymaker over to pack more punch into the game. This round will see a neat price drop for the game, so those who still don't have the game will be able to grab a copy minus the ouch of the full price. For those who already have the game, EA Sports will continue post-launch support with some fresh new downloadable content.

It's time to compare numbers again. After the impressive giant leap that the PS3 console made the past couple of weeks, things are starting to simmer down as the DSi regains the top spot in Japan's Media Create hardware sales chart for the week of September 7 through the 13th.

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter has some pretty dire tidings for Nintendo. According to the analyst, the Wii's sales will continue to decline unless Nintendo gives a price cut the go signal. More estimates from Pachter after the jump.

Handhelds are dominating the hardware sales charts in Japan right now, but the story over there is still the PS3 -- specifically the fact that it has dropped to dead last in the Media Create sales rankings. More after the jump.

Confirmed! Microsoft has finally announced that starting Friday, the price of the high-end Xbox 360 Elite console will drop by US$ 100 while the current US$ 299 Xbox 360 Pro console will be reduced to US$ 249 while supplies last. This means that the only two Xbox 360 models at retail will be the 120GB version and the US$ 199 Xbox 360 Arcade console.

I fully expected Microsoft to follow Sony's PS3 price cut announcement with one of their own for the Xbox 360 Elite. Some rumors about an Elite price drop have been floating around for a while now, but we heard nothing of the sort during Microsoft's GamesCom conference. A new report suggests that it has to do with the current stock of Arcades and Elites out on the market right now.

If rumors are to be believed. the Xbox 360 Elite model is in for a pretty big price drop. The thing is, Microsoft seems to have dropped one of the features in the newer Elites hitting the US, namely the bundled HDMI cables.

With so much mystery still looming around the rumored PS3 Slim and a possible PS3 price drop announcement, Microsoft's Xbox Euro VP Chris Lewis believes the Xbox 360 is still in a good place in the console race. According to Lewis, any announcement from their opposition won't disrupt their plan, which is also rumored to include countering Sony's move with a price cut of its own.

Following rumors of the Xbox 360 Pro model being phased out, we're now hearing talk of a price cut for the Xbox 360 Elite model thanks to a Meijer catalog that advertises a new price point for the Elite as well as what could be the date for the Pro phase out.

A lot of us can agree that the PlayStation 3 really needs a price cut. Just how badly does it need one? Well, the Xbox 360 now leads by over 8 million units worldwide. It's gotten so that even Microsoft's openly expecting them to have a price cut soon.
