I think you will find a few other countries follwoing suit soon

Never heard os many excuses in all my life

Seece, its not excuses, youre talking about reigning supreme but when we analyze the variables its really not that impressive.....call me a name, make a sarcastic comment about how im scared but the PS3 at $100 more WW this year outsold the 360 by 1.1 million consoles...a weekly average of over 45k

Now, in a market in which over 60% of the 360's sales have come this year and 53% of its userbase resides, there was a $50 price cut coupled with upgrading existing users and the 360 still came short of what the PS3 was doing on average every week for 6.5 months.

Its just not as amazing as you wish it were, that doesnt mean im making excuses for these companies i have no ties too, im just pointing out in the grand scheme of things its really not that amazing.

Actually analyzing the data compared to PS3 slim launch and all the variables. 360s release is looking like a better success. 

You mention this price cut. The same thing that happened to PS3 ( which were still available during the first 2 months of PS3 slim ).

And you are very wrong about the PS3 average. It only managed 105,000 in Launch week of PS3 slim in a better time of the year. And by week 3 was at 112,000. 

wtf are you talking about. I never once mentioned the PS3 slim launch, im talking about 2010 in terms of sales. Im not interested in comparing Slim Launch Penis Length here, im talking about numbers we have now compared to trends this year.

This year the PS3 has outsol the 360 by 1.1 million, an average of over 45k per week, this was post holidays, 6 months after any price cut or new hardware form either company....pretty fair comparison imo, in relation to that this 45k difference WW is not that amazing.

Its good, dont get me wrong, but considering the 6.5 months we have had so far this year a roughly 70k swing in the 360's advantage (PS3 > by 25-30k weekly to 360 > 45k) due to a $50 price cut and the 360's largest market in which it was already outselling the PS3 is not "reigning supreme" especially when we consider the way these spikes work and theres no long standing price cut, the decrease will probably not only be sharper but return to baseline quicker depending on old inventory.
