next week metroid is out here in europe,
16th of november galaxy is out in europe,
Also if needs be nintendo are in a stronger position to cut their prices.
The extraordinary thing is that the wii has been selling like hotcakes and the only major release over the past 6 months has been paper mario.
I think sony went as far as they could to cut the price of the ps3. I don't think that the price will come down for another 8 months or so, (maybe even more). The ps3 sales will fall back a fair bit, but essentially they should keep to a higher level than what they were. Unfortunately for Sony, I think they have some serious competition this gen and they will be third this christmas in europe. I have also seen some marketing for the ps3 focusing on the 400 euro price mark, which is a big psychological hurdle cleared for people hoping to buy one.
Contrary to Leo-J's prediction, i can't see japan "flipping" over an extended period of time. Galaxy, fit and the popularity of the wii, means that the wii is going to go on a blitz this christmas in japan. And to cut the price by by so much, and yet only outsell the other consoles by a few thousand, means that europe has not flipped (certainly not for any length of time).
The ps3 should at the moment enjoy it's spell of semi-success.
