xbox 360 is half the price of ps3 as an entry system.

yet it only scrapes 15-20k more a week.

by now it should have been 15 million ahead as predicted by vg users.

early last year a higher priced ps3 sold more per week many times 70k+ than a lower priced 360.

im hoping for a $100 price cut to go with a cheaper produced ps3, i need a 2nd ps3. i think it will do very very well, if it doesnt beat 360 this fall it should at least match sales of 360. but overall i think WW ps3 should sell more, but possibly mabey equal.

and the extra sales for 360 after price cuts hasnt brung any more games, for a console thats cheaper than wii into its 4rth year should be pumping out good exclusive games every few months.

im tired im logging off. bye

like who?

deffo last one before i go.

ye i recall loads of people predicting 360 will continue selling over twice per month and that it will never dip below 250k a week etc.

but in all honesty it should have rocketed ahead, as greenberg claimed, we have finally reached the mass market price and history tells us that 70% of a consoles sales are in once it gets to a $199 sweet spot.
