Would a PS3 price cut do it?

I think PS3 would outsell the 360 in the USA/Europe if it was the same price...but it isn't, and I don't think it will be. PS3 can do 500,000/month at the prices it is at worldwide (once it comes out in Europe). Once it goes down $100 in the US/Eur, I think the PS3 does like 650,000/month. Well consider 2 things. 1 it costs 420 bucks in Japan for the 20GB, the 60GB still costs 600 bucks, and 2 they hardly make any 20GBs (which is a mistake IMO how many people really need Wifi, more hard drive space, and memory card readers?), most retail stores even in Japan only carry the 60GB.

Removal of the emotion chip? That sounds important....what does it do?
