So if MS release a $149 Xbox 360 ARCADE this, before black friday year, what do you think would happen: (A) Sales wise between PS360? (B) Sales wise between 360 & Wii? (C) Would 360 have a better holiday than last year? This is the only way MS can stop PS3's momentum this year, but if it happened, would it stop the momentum? |
You give Sony's momentum too much credit. They will probably win September NPD over 360 but they may not even win October and on.
And as long as 360 is doing good in USA I dont think MS is worried.
Look at how long PS3 was pummeled by 360, many months, and Sony just stood and took it. MS can take it for a few months too and it wont be the end of the world.
We also have yet to see where PS3 sales will stabilize. They havent stabilized yet in Japan and are still going down, so I think it's safe to assume thats the case for the rest of the world as well.
I dont expect any Microsoft price cuts this year.
