This was obviously going to happen, the reason the 360 did so well in north America was it's price

nothing more


That's BS and nothing more.

Really? i'm pretty sure price sells a system more then anything

Not true. A good marketing strategy is probably the biggest proponents of device sales. Price certainly helps but it is far from the deciding factor of a sale.

After all; if what you said was true then why was the average selling price of the 360 higher than the PS3 in 2011 (and assumably the years following that since the PS3 got price cuts whilst the 360 got none).

Speaking of average prices is really just ridiculous.  What matters is the entry price when people are really focusing on price.  Which is going to be a bigger factor when the gap is larger than $50, or the paltry $35 that article suggests.
