Here in Europe the price cut has a strong effect in sales, but europeans are much more soniers than americans. The Playstation brand is too strong in countries like mine, Spain that PS3 sells better than Wii. There is no reason why the price cut no affect the sales.
Anyway I think all these movements of MS, that will happen in only a few months (price cut, Avatars, games that may appeal some casuals, long waited hardcore releases) are directed to block the attention in LBP, and maybe create a short trend until holydays, when the price drop really make effect.
The Japanese strategy is collapse the market with JRPG, and in Europe a "I-don't-know-name" big boss of MS say that he will make an announcement in september, only for Europe and it will be huge.
MS fear LBP much more than MGS cause it is the first PS3 game that could appeal to causal and hardcore at the same.
I'm spanish, my english isn't very well, and it's my first post in vgchartz, please be kind ._.
Ah! I'm not a PS3 fan, I only have an Xbox360 and I love it. I Hate Sony for kill dreamcast with smoke bombs.
