@Kowenicki Based on the NPD numbers I think your a bit too quick to assume the price cut is wearing off especially considering the fact that there are shortages, plus I don't think we have an entirely clear picture of the Americas. 360 might be beating PS3 in America but supposedely PS3 has been winning in Canada rather handily since December. Speaking of which, didn't NPD have PS3 edging out 360 in December? With a victory in Canada that would be a fair lead for PS3 but VGC has 360 ahead.

december was a dead heat. 50k out of 1.3m

canada is a small market.

nppd also had 360 further ahead than vgc for feb and I think jan.

I said edge out, not a decisive victory. I'm aware that Canada is a small market. Small potatoes really but NPD actually has the gap slightly smaller than VGC for February. VGC has it at 76k, NPD has it at 62k. With PS3 in first place in Canada it's probably more like a 50k gap in Americas. Both consoles were undertracked, PS3 was just slightly more undertracked. :edit: @PSRock What are you talking about it's up 35%. Read Kowenicki's marketshare article. And assuming there are adjustments next week after NPD it's probably more like up 40%.
