was the 360 price cut really effective in NA

@Zenfolder: Yes they are about legs, but the practice of price cuts has given us an almost predictable amount of sales from a week, three weeks, a month, etc after this happens, and so far, the 360's performance isn't that impressive and I highly doubt that we aren't experiencing a high point, but in a sense I do agree that there will be some lasting benefits from this, mabey 50% more for america but even then, that seems a bit weaker than what MS needs.

 

if you were a gamer who owned a PS3 and was looking at getting a 360... would you get one now or wait till at least Fable 2 was out?  How many will sell on the build up for Christmas?  I think that for Sept number and no really big games like last year's Sept it did well.

This week wasn't that impressive, considering that there was a whopping 28% cut for the entry level xbox, from $275 down to $200, and a 28% cut is more than anything else done in this generation.  With the PS3's new model coming out, that basically reduced the price from $500 down to $400 and that would make only a 20% cut.  Price matters man, but the bottom line is that the 360 hasn't gotten the boost that it needs so its gonna have to settle for less apparantly.
