what will price drop first psp or 360?

expect at least a 50 dollar drop on the psp fairly soon
the 360 will probably drop their price on the older systems and keep the newer models at 4 hundred or something like 380
 
I guess it would depend. It would be nice for the PSP to drop, especially since some good titles are coming out at the moment. Failing that it would be quite pleasurable if they took another nice stack of PSP games and tossing them into a Greatest Hits line for $20 a pop, but that's wishful thinking.

The 360...that would depend as well. There are a lot of solid titles coming up in the near future for it and, with Microsoft making a tiny bit of profit on each one sold nowadays thanks to reduced chip costs, I think they may want to ride that for a bit longer. They're still at a decent price point considering a new system and deals at some retailers help bring it down to very respectable levels. I wouldn't be shocked if Microsoft tries to keep the price at the same level for most of this year, probably while changing around internal components that are a bit more reliable and less costly. If they can keep a $300/$400 price point, up their profit on each system sold, and increasing the quality of their 360's until close to Halo 3's release (whenever that may be), they could make out big.

But, to be fair, it's all up in the air. If a PSP2 is announced the PSP's price could get a nice drop very quickly. If Sony drops the PS3's price (considering what they're tossing around corporate-wise it doesn't seem too likely anytime soon), it could force Microsoft to react. It's really a crapshoot.
 
I'd guess that the PSP will drop first, but my preference would be to see a 360 drop. As much as I want a 360, I probably won't be getting one anytime soon, though. Too many expenses in my life right now to justify it. On the other hand, the PSP could drop to $100 and I'd still have zero interest in it. Not Sony-bashing (I love my PS2), just not a big portable gamer I guess.
 
Likely to be the 360, as Sony's very adamant about the pricing for the PSP and PS3. Chances are that Microsoft's gonna make a newer 360 model with more harddrive space, so the older ones may drop in price if such happens.
 
The 360 really doesn't need a price drop... it's only 50 dollars more than the Wii... The psp is long overdue for a price drop, so I'm hoping that the psp will drop first.

Don't you mean $150 more? Since you damn well need the hard drive anyways.
