Ok we get there are PS3 shortages, we have heard that for months now.
But how the hell does that make 360 get a bump? Software wise all that was out was Bioshock 2 really?
It makes you think a bit about how the numbers can be so wrong. The 360 just posted its best ever febuary, beating the Wii by 25k. It didn't even do anything but the buzz about it on here reminds me of a morgue or something! It was even up year over year by a massive 33k!
It also makes you think about march's npd. If we accept that the PS3 has the shortages people are mentioning and have mentioned then i don't see how it can possibly be anywhere close to the 360 numbers right now. If 360 just got a bump from nothing in february then i can imagine it being a bump with BC2 and FFXIII, especially with the bundles.
So fair play to MS. Their machine that had its last price cut nearly 2 years ago just posted one of it's best months.
Which i think is further proof that if/when the 360 does actually drop to that official £99 mark with Natal then the numbers will be gigantic.
Also PS3 did well. It was up nearly 100k year over year, that is awesome. |
What about the price cut that the Xbox 360 Elite model got in september/oktober? Did you already forget?

Hardly a proper price cut is it. Just re-branding of it. Where i am from that actually went up in price anyway.
We are talking about an official price cut. I.e they come out and say from this day forth the 360 costs £99. meaning the stores themselves can go even lower such is how it works. If we use the £129 price that it is now you get some stores selling it now and then in deals from £99-£109. If you put that into an official price cut means you could see stores sell the 360 from £79-£99. If they are selling well right now at £129 it does not take a genius to work out they will sell even better if you take nearly 35% off that price.

Ur from the UK yes? The Elite did get a price cut £229 to £199. Your thinking of the arcade which got jacked up to £159 but do you see 1 at that price anywhere?
