Can't say it wasn't expected.

These price cuts are the end of the 360 in Europe and Japan. The price is so low now that any further price cuts will do little to spur sales in these territories. Once the spike dies down fully, the 360 will be stuck selling sub-50k a week in Europe for the rest of the generation, and in Japan it will be sub-5k, aside from a small spike due to the Last Remnant, and a much larger spike from Star Ocean 4.

North America is the only territory in which price cuts might still be effective for the 360. Compare this to the ps3, which is still very expensive in all regions, and has plenty to gain from future price cuts.

People proclaiming doom and gloom for the ps3 after the 360's recent price cuts were rather short sighted.

 

well, they can still lower it to $99.00. it would get a nice bump for a whole 3 weeks straight.  But, i still expect huge numbers this holiday for the 360. In a bad economy, the 360 is a huge deal for parents. The PS3 might suffer however for its high price.
