The fact that Wii is doing what it’s doing, is truly remarkable, and while 360 isn’t enjoying a massive amount of benefits for the price cuts, I think it will in the coming weeks, and thru the holiday shopping season. Take the bundles for example…the ability to buy it and get those two games is tremendous to the pocket book of frugal shoppers…and this is just the start…I think M$ might have some remarkable holiday deals upcoming. A 1.2% drop in retails sales is massive on a level that can’t be fathom by the small looking value of that %. Sony has said no price cuts…but my gut tells me they are going to HAVE to offer some massive incentive to consumers in December, after the first set of holiday shopping data comes out…maybe free credit to a game purchase with the purchase of a new console or something. |
It's not just your gut - it's everyone elses' logic as well. If they don't do anything that lights up interest for the console, they'll be smashed.
