Looks like the 360 price cut has had some effect

@ DOATS1 -> Banjo 3 will be marketed more than LBP,because MS has the cash and the need for the casual market. Rockband 2 and Viva 2 will help too.

Seeing how you ignore the price difference,i can see in your post the Brand Loyalty difference. Many kids have a ps2,so they will want a ps3 with LBP,no? Yess,they will,and their parents will pay,because it`s a request. At least MS tries to make the deal sweet,by offering at half the price more games for the casuals and hardcore as well. Or Fable 2 and Gears 2 are not for hardcore? Marketing is a strong weapon,and MS is using it with ammo worth millions of dollars.

Motorstorm 2 is a francise? It has competition and the ones that are getting M2 probably already have a ps3 and the first part. And Pure didn`t bombed it got good reviews,Baja did bombed,and Fuel looks promicing and fun. Like i said,it has competition.

Again,ps3 will sell,but not as much as Sony wanted to. Same goes for MS,but as long as they take marketshare away from ps3 and wii,they are happy. Competition is good for everyone.
