A price advantage?

He thinks the PS3 needs a price advantage to beat the 360?

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but wasn't a $400 PS3 outselling a $300 360?

Yes, the ps3 WAS out selling the 360 in Europe, not anymore and not since September 2008 (360 outselling ps3 six months solid this March, not once has the ps3 overtook it in this space of time), this is why the PS3 urgently needs a price cut in Europe before it is too late for the PS3 to recover, it's reputation is already at it's lowest point across Europe, it's sales are falling year on year while the 360's is at record highs for the region, the longer it takes for a price cut the more 360's and wii's will be sold, simple as that....

 

A $300 PS3 would outsell a $200 X360 in Europe and Japan, and possibly even in North America. The Wii will still be far ahead of both, though.

It's possible, It's done it before but I honestly don't think the PS3 will overtake the 360 again (excluding Japan obviously) until the PS3 is within £75-£100 of the 360's price (£199 for example), not sure Sony can afford to do it though?

Pachter makes a safe prediction. I guess he is trying to regain some credibility as a sales analyst.
