Let me address this thread.

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 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 were dropping as for the X360 reducing the price a few days after the ps3 slim announcement is very suspicious.

Dont be so quick to jump to conclusion, I would appreciate a reply!

I just wish people would stop refering to the slim as the cause of success. You kinda did it, and someone else in the thead did it. You and others might translate Slim into pricecut in these manners, but I don't aswell as many other people. It really seems like people are saying the slim caused the increase in sales. If people say that often other people might believe it.

Forgot about FF13. I just don't like the way you phrase things, I guess. You make everything sound so definite. I think Wii will outsell PS3 in holiday Japan, but we can agree to disagree on that point.

I really do question the PS3 price cut prompting the Wii price cut. Price cuts don't just happen overnight, they involve months of planning.Wii's dropping sales imply that it wasn't the PS3 pricecut that caused the Wii pricecut, don't they? Not that an expected PS3 cut wasn't a factor, but I disagree with the way you said it as idf it was the ONE factor in the Wii price cut.

I'm all for optimism but you're really overdoing it. The way you say things just bugs me. You make predictions and say them as if they already happened, like some kind of prophet.

lool I dont mean to sound/phrase definite, I do believe that the ps3 price cut was a factor along with the slump in sales. I was not really predicting only explaining what Sony needs to do to stay ahead of the competition. Clearly you don't approve with a thread focusing on ps3 success so therefore its best to leave it at that, cheers.
