It's really good seeing the PS3 getting so much love in the US considering that the 360 is racing far ahead in terms of sales. Maybe, just maybe this is a sign that the PS3 is in fact starting to take off to the masses being as the price is now down to a reasonable $299.
It's seems that in both NA and Others the PS3 has now reached the price that will allow it to sell much more and start taking sales away from potential Wii and 360 buyers.
This Xmas looks set to be the PS3's best yet and considering the price has yet to reach magical $199 in the US and £150 in the UK, this IMHO shows that the PS3 has a good few years of growth and momentum which means this is the start of the road.
On the other hand, it maybe shows that there is a bit of over saturation with the 360 and the $199 in the US and £139 in the UK price point is starting to not make as much of an impact as they really want and wish....so maybe just maybe the 360 needs Natal to push it on again, but if the rumours and timescale are to be believed and it's not going to launch until late 2010, then the PS3 has a good 9 months or so to build up big sales and claw back the lead Microsoft has over them.
Prediction (June 12th 2017)
Permanent pricedrop for both PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro in October.
PS4 Slim $249 (October 2017)
PS4 Pro $349 (October 2017)
