If what your saying is true, PS3 should still be under the 360 every week, except maybe the first week of the Slim release. However, I think people see the value in the PS3, especially now that it's $300. Also, let's not forget that the promotion was by Wal-mart, not MS. Now people say MS has endless pockets, but I doubt they want to keep selling the 360 at a loss. Especially since they just started making a profit recently, and have to recoup the few billion they lost at the beginning of this gen. And with PS3 dropping in the cost to produce it, who knows if Sony wouldn't drop the price by $50, and still break even, to respond to any kind of price cut MS puts in place. |
True xbox arcade is still less expensive than PS3, theres also games that comes with it. Its 1 of many good example that theres a lot of factors other than price. Just to name a few on the top of my head: quality, media, publicity, games, brand loyalty, features, HDTV home cinema in rising, positive mouth to mouth VS negative mouth to mouth. The latter is something very important that is switching over. PS3 has been crippled by negative comment from xbox user, media and peoples following the trend of bashing the product since the release, but the situation is reversing right now.
