| psrock said: Yes, The PS3 will remain at 3rd place because MS will always make sure it has a price advantage. I think they are more concern with finally making money though. I am sure it wont't stay @$299 for long, but the 360 should gain marketshare they have recently lost. My only thing is people think MS is going to destroy the PS3 in the holidays. I just don't see it. As always, 360 will win in NA, UK and the PS3 everywhere else. I got to give it to MS for being agressive and competitive, they have created an amazing new experience in kinect and will steal tons of casuals from Nintendo. All I can say is, it's going to be a great Fall for all three consoles. |
MS has been concerned with making money for a while now, hence why the last 11 financials have been profit bar 3 (IIRC) they're on track to post $1 billion profits for the E&D division this financial year.
