90k? that's it? even I expected more.

Hell, I expected the 360 to beat the PS3 by 55k WW and that's without the extreme Japanese numbers that it got.

Blacksaber, Sony fans are fine. They have a soild holiday season infront of them, and '08 has been PS3's best year. And the drop is because - you guessed it - the 360 drop.

$199 a sweet spot my ass. Drop the premium to $199 and you got it. Not the bastarised Arcade.

 

As direct as your opinion is,,, I agree with you.

I do believe the 360 will be ahead in America for some time to come, but 2 weeks from now the numbers will be back in Sony's favor WW, or at least very close to it.

I agree also that the PS3 dropped because they are still in somewhat of the same market as the 360, (although I believe those lines are becoming more defined between the 2)

If the PS3 re-captures the North America weekly sales on a consistant basis before 09, then this price drop served very little purpose for Microsoft. We will see.
