It was confirmed last year that the 360 would have a price drop and it didn't have a noticeable effect on sales. Japan is another beast, 360 sales went below 1k before getting a huge boost, ps3 sales also slowly died to 3k before getting a big boost from bundles (not lower price but better value). |
The 360 did not sell very well, in 2008, prior to its first 2008 price cut. I don't know if the poor sales were caused by price cut rumors or other factors. Both PS3 and 360 sales in Japan were boosted with software titles, not bundles.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
