Stupid that Microsoft put's the new 360 in the market like that. No time to promote AT ALL. Sony builded up a giant hype to september when it released. Now they released it in a low selling season. Now not many people will buy it , and when the holiday season is here the hype will be over

The flip side of that was that Sony's sales plummeted for July and August as a result of the wait.  I believe NPD had the PS3 once again dipping below the PS2 for those months.  Microsoft understandably would prefer to avoid that.

Well your right about that. But I think Sony has a price-drop on it's sleve with could boost sales for the summer months and before the Holiday season they will release GT5 and some other nice AAA titels like Resistance 3 and LPB2. I don't think that Microsoft can take over Japan , just no way. Europe is slipping out of Microsoft's hands and with another price-cut and also GT5 wich has a huge fan-base in Europe it will only fall away even further. America has been Xbox minded since it release and won't be taken over by Sony. The only thing Sony can do with America is preventing from Microsoft to build up even more sales for Xbox. It's enough for Sony to take some sales away from Microsoft in America but it's critical for them to pull ahead in Europe and stay ahead in Japan and maybey then they will even be able to pull them selfs to second place.

i wouldn't be so sure about that Kratos_36.
