Now the PS3 has got the price cut, the games, the networking tools etc etc

Pretty much everything the 360 has.

So with that do those PS3 supporters now conceed there can be no more excuses in terms of how the PS3 does sales wise?

The main defence was always the price of the console. People would say "When the price cut happens xyz will happen". Wit lots of games to come people would say "wait untill xyz comes out" etc etc.

In my view that cannot be used anymore. The PS3 is a good console and now has a good price tag. Not as cheap as a 360 but not that far away from it.

PS3 from first week of September HAS to sell more consoles worldwide then 360 or i honestly do think that is it in regards to who takes 2nd and 3rd place this generation.

PS3 was outselling 360 handily week in and week out until the 360 got ITS price cut a year ago.


Exactly. It proved with a higher price it can outsell the 360 and now is no different. If it does not replicate that then to me it says that it can be whatever price and people still won't buy it.

The 360 has not really got a price drop just Elite replacing the pro and in some places that has even gone up in price i.e UK. So on 1st of setember here in UK a PS3 will cost you £249 and a 360 with an HD will cost you £199. Only £50 difference, the price of 1 new game. That is nothing.

IF the PS3 fails to beat 360 in that enviroment then as i mentioned before it is not going to finish 2nd this gen. It will be over. It will confirm Wii 1st, 360 2nd and PS3 3rd.
