360's 5th xmas period.................. impressive numbers for a console with no cuts in a long time and an "alleged" poor line up last year.
I expect HUGE things from microsoft next year in both retail and XBLA games.
That was the quiet before the storm.
Bottom line_______________________________________ |
What the hell are you talking about, The 360 is all about price cuts and deals.
|
And the ps3 has already used its get out of jail for free card far earlier than they had hoped this gen (PS3 slim) due to the 360's great numbers last year.
So your point is?

Lmao!
"get out of jail for free card"!?
It is yet to hit $199, or even $250... And it's touching 1 Million sales in a week.
Im sure Sony have a few more "get out of jail for free card"'s up those sleeves.
|
Im sure they do, but the slim was usually used to keep sales plugging along long in to the lifespan of the ps2, its been used much earlier this gen due to sony playing catch up, and with expensive devices inside the ps3 i don't forsee anymore price cuts anytime soon.
360 on the other hand can drop the price almost at will.
360 to take hardware sales over PS3 in 2010.
Bottom line_____________________________

Where have Sony called the new PS3 the "Slim"? Hint - They haven't.
Sony could quite easily slim down the PS3 again, along with plenty more pricecuts to prolong the life of the console.
No it can't. MS want to make profit on it, and board members wont be happy with constant cuts to the machine. Plus, a cut before Natal releases would be dumb... And wont happen.
Maybe. Nobody knows...
"Bottom line"___________________

Another slim/redesign sometime soon? i doubt it, would people fall for it again?
Talk about going to the well one too many times.
Sony expected people to buy the PS3 @ £425/$600, their arrogance cost them dear, the ps3 has already lost them lots of money, another re-desingn so soon would show just exactly how hard times have become.
I applaud recent ps3 sales, but the 360's still hanging in there with no official price cut in a long time.
Microsoft were very quiet on both the hardware and software advertising fronts last year, with Halo: Reach and many other stellar games coming throughout this year expect another microsoft marketing blitz that will easily rival if not surpass HALO 3's advertising blitz.
Bottom line_______________________________

MWF2 = 8 million copies
Borderlands= very successful
Assassin's Creed
Halo ODST = 4million plus copies
Left4dead2 = huge
360 = $199/ arcade, huge advantage
360 Elite= huge deals all over, was 249 plus 6 games in November.
regular Elite plus 2 games = PS3 Slim
uk= 130 pounds
Every freaking Modern Warfare commercials had the 360
Yeah, I applaud the 360 for hanging in there. The 360 had a terrific holiday, there was just a bigger demand for the PS3, no big deal. Hopefully your 10 million gap prediction happens this year.
