I can say this much--I frequent a lot of gaming sites, and VGChartz is the one whose users are making the biggest deal out of the Slim. I don't see a lot of talk about it on a lot of the other forums I look at, and I'm starting to wonder if more than just the gaming fanatics (the minority of gamers) even know/care about the Slim.
I'm also starting to see that a 360 price cut could very well negate anything Sony does as far as attempting to close the gap. Don't forget who the holiday shoppers are: parents. These people drive console sales during the shopping season. How many of them do you think really know or care about the PS3 Slim? The 360 Arcade is dirt cheap. The Elite will be a good deal at $299, but I don't think parents will care about that either. They're going to go for price. A $299 Elite or PS3 will pale in comparison to an Arcade model when looking at price.
I don't know....a slim/price cut could close the gap a little bit, but I don't think it's going to make the PS3 sell 8 million units in 4 months. That's stretching it a bit.
