| numonex said: Speaking on behalf of 360 fans I am shocked by this terrible news of the PS3 heavily outselling the XBox 360 in NA during BF week. PS3 BF sales week surprise a huge blow to XBox 360 and its fans. I can not believe this has happened. It means the gap will fall to 5 million or below by end of 2009. Natal launch may have to be launched early or just let the lead fall to 3 million by Fall 2010? PS3 outsold the 360 by almost 200k units in NA with BF sales week. The XBox 360 was supposed to win over PS3 in NA. XBox 360 is much cheaper than PS3. This can not not be happening. Hopefully this is not the end of the titanic battle for second place between the XBox 360 and PS3 in the console sales wars showdown. |
Microsoft needs to keep more price advantage imo... honestly, I think they'd have been much better off if they'd kept the the $249 60GB Pro in circulation.
Next year they need to have something like a $199 360 Slim+Natal combo if they want to keep momentum... they've got more room to drop, they should be worried more about competition than profitability at this point (like Sony). Thankfully their exclusive lineup is already looking pretty good for next year (Halo Reach, Mass Effect 2, Crackdown 2, Alan Wake, Fable III, Kingdom Under Fire II, Ninety-Nine-Nights II, etc).
