X360 is outselling PS3 right now, ¿what will change that?

I think X360 has more things, like the Arcade bundle, Halo Reach, Kinect, etc.


and that's coming out all this year, and i can't see the arcade bundle doing a big bump in sales, neither Halo:Reach since it's the 3rd installment in the console, maybe kinect if it turns out what it should be.

 

besides, the ps3 still has plenty of room for price cuts...

I'm getting tired of hearing how much room Sony has to cut the price on the PS3. They don't have as much room as you think they do. There is a built in BluRay player. The PS3 hardware has finally started to profit for Sony and they won't be cutting the price anytime soon. Whenever they do the 360 will also be cut in price. The PS3 will never be cheaper than the 360. In fact they are both the same price right now and the 360 is outselling it. Once the 360 250gig hits the magical $199 price point then Sony won't be able to do anything to counter it, and I believe that price point is only 1 year away.

The 360 & PS3 are not the same price. The cheapest 360 is $200. The cheapest PS3 is $300. The 360 is outselling now. how long has the slim been out. A little over a month, what do you expect? When the 360 250gig hits $200, I'm pretty sure Sony won't just sit back and watch. Blu Ray is becoming cheaper and PS3 could always drop the price with MS.

I don't think Sony or Microsoft brought their new consoles into the market for bragging rights, and at some stage consistant profits would be on the agenda.  Now that they're approaching their 5th and 6th holiday seasons respectively, I would imagine that time has already come. 

Microsoft hasn't dropped the price of their console for 2 years now (save for clearance items), and introduced what must be a cheaper to produce box.  Sony dropped their price $100 last year.   Considering this, I would expect another boost for the 360 with an unmatched price cut.  Sony will respond later of course, but we're rapidly teetering on the edge of the generation and sales may slow with the introduction of a new gen.
