Sullla,

hum,

last year it was just after a price drop
now we are 1 year after the price drop

last year, Xbox360 (the big foe playing on direct competition) was more expensive
this year, it received a price drop and is now the cheapiest console this gen

last year, we were not in recession
this year, we are (and media are even pushing it by focusing on it)

(I still see how Wii/360 are selling much better than PS3, but I also see PS3 is doing not bad considering the price)

A 61% increase, with NO price cuts, NO GAMES (I suppose...), last year it was the cheapest console, this year the 360 has a cheaper model, plus most of the stuff you mentioned.
