Looks like the 360 price cut has had some effect

the price cut had a positive effect, but nobody can honestly say that the weekly sales gap the 360 currently has over the ps3 will remain that large (or small), the cut effect is wearing off in all regions very slowly every week (looking at sales data will help prove this) and it could be back to square one again pretty soon.

i'd personally prefer it if sony did not react to the price cut, but if sales do hold up in favour of the 360 (which i doubt), then sony may be forced to react and cut their prices as well. which i think is a bad move right now. sales are pretty good for the ps3 with its price compared to the 360. if they could hold out until next year after the christmas storm, or even until a big exclusive is released next year. it would benefit them much more.

 

The single non-fanboy/spin post so far. Makes plenty of sense. For the most expensive console on the market, the PS3 is still selling well. And while 360 sales increased because of the pricedrop while having the intial cheapest hardware option, just a 30,000 WW difference over the PS3 and still underperforming the Wii is nothing to brag about. The way I see it is that the 360 should have been outselling the PS3 to begin with with a larger library of games and initially cheaper hardware out of the box. I'm not bashing the 360 here because the more units you sell the better while the 360 is a viable option. My point is that eventhough the pricedrop was a help, it didn't appear to be the threat that some had hoped to be to the PS3 and the Wii.

Gee, a sony fanboy calling another sony fanboy, non fanboy. How shocking.

Also funny how you two completely dismiss Banjo vs LBP. As if an unknown franchise on a smaller userbase and the most expensive platform is a slam dunk vs a somewhat known franchise on the cheapest platform and bigger userbase? You must have expensive crystal balls...

And bring up fucking Motorstorm 2 as some big savior? The first one "sold" because it was a launch title and was bundled through it's ass everywhere.

PGR3 sold tons on 360 too. It was a launch title. PGR4 however bombed horribly. I doubt there are more "fans" of Motorstorm than there were for PGR. Especially in todays crowded market.
