Wow this argument is retarded on 360 fanboys and Sony fanboys side.
My thoughts:
PS3 can afford another price cut(Cheaper parts(45nm and 65nm), Cheaper production of those parts(Blu-ray drive), Skimping on the 40 gig)
360's main market will be NA(ps3 will never outsell it)
BUT....
Japan + Others = PS3's sales = or > 360's sales figures(15mil) at '07 end.(PS3 will cut into 360's gap)
Halo3 + Mass Effect + Bioshock = Huge line up that boosted 360's sales a bunch. Obviously Halo 3 was the biggest contributor BUT if 360 has another decent line up this year they will keep their sales going.
PS3 had a lack of games. But it did well considering. IF this is an indication on how well it sells when its in a slump when MGS, GT5, and FF(All sequels) come out those will be the equivalent of 360's '07 line up. (Which will boost it a bunch)
PS3 had only 1 Price cut for the 60gig and then had 1 for the 80gig. 2 different models. Only 100 dollars each. 60gig $600 - $500. 80gig $600 - $500. 20 gig $500 - discontinued. 40gig $400 - $400.
I fail to see the 200 dollar price cut...
The "4model PS3"... Wow 360 had the Core, Premium, and Elite. (Not that big of a difference)
Notice the key words in my post like IF and BUT.
I'm obviously Pro PS3 in this situation, but I'm not going to say "OMG 360 SUX AND HAS NOTHING '08." It is still going to be in the competition and I believe it will be a head to head battle(that I think ps3 will pull out in front in '08)
The reason I think it will be Sony '08 is because they have had a year of trial and error and I think they finally took off in the right direction. If they keep it up they'll be fine.(If they mess up again though.... Sony - "whoops")
GhostMLD - Xbox didn't need to have a price drop their whole 1st year. They had no Competition. Why drop price when people only have one choice and that choice is you. That would have been pretty stupid on their part.
Bottom line Wii '07 sales > 360 '07 sales > PS3 '07 sales.
'08 ? sales > ? sales > ? sales We will only know at the end of '08.
