Microsoft slashed prices for its Xbox console Wednesday - this time in the U.S. The announcement came only two days after Sony announced price cuts for Playstation 2.

Now the consoles are again equally priced at $200. According to Microsoft the price cut was backed by the boost in sales in both Europe and Australia after the price was cut there.

Nintendo still has no plans to cut the price of their Gamecube console.
