New realases will drive console sales for both the 360 and the Ps3 and with the current price difference you can expect the 360 to likely sell at a 2:1 to 1.5:1 ratio over the PS3. |
I believe Microsoft's NA price-cut timing was nearly perfect. As you said, this is the beginning of the Christmas season, and having a console at $200 can't do anything but help sway some percentage of parents looking to buy a "high-end" present.
All three consoles are likely to do well over the next 3 months, but the 360 price cut will likely keep MS and PS3 neck and neck.
I'm really interested in the trend line over the next 30 days... that may provide a good indication to how the consoles are going to do over the entire season.
