If you are, nice thread

Although the PS3 hardly "crushed" the 360 in weekly sales in Q1-3 2008; the gap was similar to the 360-PS3 gap in 2009. Perhaps a little more, only because Sony always has the lead on Microsoft in Japan, so it was higher America + higher Europe + higher Japan, as opposed to higher NA + higher Europe -lower Japan.

 Furthermore, the Xbox 360 has had its best performance relative to the PS3 in the last time period it has had ever.

So overall (in these timeframes anyway)

Xbox 360 price cut - 2.5 million

PS3 price cut - 750k ...
