Otherwise.. I'd say a price cut is imminent this year. It will boost sales in EUROPE mainly- where the 360 has taken the biggest hit on lead. Japan is a lost cause until a slimbox is introduced, IMO. NA at this point doesnt matter because it would take nothing less than AN ABSOLUTE MIRACLE for PS3 to even level 360. |
There were rumors in Japan mid-last year about a 360 slim, with several "no comments" from MS Tokyo reps. I half wonder if we won't see a new shell case to go with the inevitable price cut and Natal launch this fall?
Natal will be big at E3, but I tend to think the big core sequels coming this year (Gears 3, Zelda, Reach, Galaxy 2, GT5, etc) will take most of the oxygen. If rumors are to be believed, Natal's been scaled back a bit in terms of what the original rollout was planned to be...
