Good job, Sony!

@ JayGee

I think it's going to take more than a price cut to beat the PS3. Most likely a cut, assuming it's a pretty big one and/or Sony doesn't counter with a small cut of their own, will cause the sales to be on par. Only if Sony drops the ball or Natal is a HUGE hit, will 360 start outpacing the PS3 again in Others. And I really don't see either of the last two things happening.

I didnt think Microsoft could market so well,go on youtube and youll see the stimulus package 

Are you suggesting they haven't been advertising the 360 in Others?  Cause given the constantly closing gap in those regions, I highly doubt that.  Just because you advertise well, doesn't always mean something will sell well.  As evidenced by the recent sales trend for the 360 in Others and constant trend in Japan.  Hell, MS has been advertising the hell out of FF13 in America, and the PS3 version outnumbers it by over 200K, with no advertising, and that number will probably continue to grow.

As far as the stimulus pack goes, out of the 10.3 mil people who bought the game there's going to be people stupid enough to pay $15 to buy just a few new maps.  I mean over 4 mil still bought a $60 Halo ODST, even though it was promised to be at max a $30 DLC.  When the stimulus pack comes to PS3 it will be the same thing, a couple mil will buy it, while the smart ones will wait for it to drop to like $5.  Really, that pack should have been for free, since Activision made all the money they really needed to of the actual game.
