Historically 360 boosts have been short lived.
So we should wait and see. America/Kinect should keep the 360 ahead of the PS3 until Sony's next price cut. Basically, no chance of PS3 outselling 360 *this generation* now in my opinion.

yeah that boost in 2008 didn't last very long.... I think it was only about 10 months.
|
More like four.

Look at 2008 vs 2009 similar months.
I suppose it could still be considered a boost if numbers don't rise, but are prevented from going lower?
|
I'll split the difference with you... 7 months
|
Even though the graphs based on VGC numbers basically show 4?
Even still, 7 months (4 actually) is a short boost for going to such a low price point. The PS3 has had a longer, better boost in going to $299.
PS3 boosts are bigger up to now, that's a fact. Kinect may be a different story though for thr 360.
|
The only PS3 boost that has been bigger was the one that was a combo $100 price cut AND redesign.
Also, lest we forget that the PS3 has now dropped by $200-300 from it's launch price, ~50% price reduction over 3 years while the 360 is still selling at only ~33% less than launch price and only a $100 reduction?

Original price doesn't mean nearly as much as current price though.
In exaggerative terms, if a car priced at £1M was now selling for £300k, and a car priced at £5000 was now selling at £4000 - the second car will still sell more.
We should compare the PS3 $199 drop (when it happens) to the 360 one for best comparison.
