Don't give the slim credit for what the pricecut did. Seriosuly, if the slim was released and the price remained the same I doubt there would be such an enormous increase in sales. The only people who care enough about the slim to rush out and buy a PS3 slim would be hardcore Sony fans. Really needed to get that off my chest.

Anyway, most of those games aren't really hardware pushing stuff, save for Gran Turismo. As for the battle between PS3 and Wii in Japan, it's like 8.5 million to 3.5 million, Wii has already won. You could even say Wii has already won on a global scale if you're a betting man. Also, from what I know of Nintendo's strategy, I doubt they did their pricecut in response to the PS3 pricecut, Microsoft may have, but I doubt that too.

I feel better now. I'm not sure if you're intentionally goat-getting, but it bothers me either way.

In conclusion, get your head out of the clouds.

Let me address this!

Firstly obviously the price cut is responsible for the surge in sales its common sense, Im talking about the ps3 slim as that is the current ps3 console in production. hardcore Sony fans already have a ps3 so there is no need to upgrade, the ps3 slim was introducted to save manufacturing costs! Really needed to address that!

Never once did I state that those games are hardware pushing games, I was merely looking at the quality of each game. Final fantasy 13 should move some considerable hardware in Japan so its not just GT5. Secondly when I said 'battle between the Wii and ps3' I did not mean in terms of total sales in that region I meant who would win the holiday season between both consoles.

Without question the introduction of the ps3 slim prompted Nintendo to reduce the price of the wii, The ps3 was outselling it and the consoles sales for the Wii were dropping in all regions, as for the X360 it reduced the price a few days after the ps3 slim announcement that is very suspicious indeed.

Dont be so quick to jump to conclusions maybe you should read the thread more clearly next time, I would appreciate a reply!
