Big price cuts make a bigger impact than exclusive games released later on in a console's life. Halo 3:ODST was basically just a rushed add-on pack for Halo 3 slapped with a retail price tag and marketed as a new released game. The PS3 dropping by $100 in the American region made a much bigger impact on consoles sales than Halo 3:ODST. 18 million Americans already own an XBox 360. Only 9 million Americans own a PS3. PS3 owners will increase due to the PS3 being at $299 and having larger HDD, Blu-Ray, free online - PSN, web browsing, huge list of upcoming exclusives. The PS3 has all the advantages over the XBox 360.
The competition has got a lot closer and I will be surprised if the XBox 360 ever outsells the PS3 in worldwide weekly console sales ever again. Japan and European regions the PS3 will build up enough sales lead over the XBox 360 that will more than make up for being slightly outsold in American region.
