You gentlemen seem to forget that regardless of the lowest price tags in history, very few people wanted an original X-Box, why should the 360 be different?

The 360 has an image issue; it's an American product and will never shake that tag or overshadow it with any amount of great games or low prices. I don't think 360 sales will surpass X-box sales by much really.

You're completely ignoring the fact that the PS2 always had a larger marketshare and received price cuts first. The original Xbox was always playing catchup. This time around, the tables are turned on Sony.

 Yes, but Sony had a smash hit with the original Playstation which paved the road for the PS2. Its hard to imagine that Playstations success had nothing to do with PS2's success, right?  The original X-box had measly sales, so the brand was not a smash hit to begin with like the PS brand, which leaves a bigger chance of the 360 following in its predecessors footsteps I think.

Of course, it is not written in stone, but seems likely to me. People never really loved the X-box concept, and by and large, they still don't.
