Sales - Writing off the 360 - View Post

Amazing things said in this thread.

First off since the beginning of November the 360 has been outsold by the PS3 3 weeks. Now if I do the math that means that the 360 has outsold the PS3 five weeks. Lets not even talk about prior to November.

Second I have seen multiple comments about how 360 would be appear to be desperate if they dropped the price below the Wii or just plain dropped the price. No one will think that MS is desperate if the lowest price SKU is $100 below the price when it launched almost 2.5 years ago. It doesnt matter that the Wii is more expensive. How is MS desperate when the PS3 has been dropped by $200 since launch (I know new SKUs, but the main stream press has announced these as $100 cuts)?

As already calculated the 360 in 2007 will beat 2006 sales by about 20% and most of this is in the last 4-5 months. Why all of a sudden is this sales improvement going to stop? The increase was determined by a couple of factors such as RROD warranty, small price cut, and even more importantly the software that was released over the past few months. That software that was released wont go away and will cause the 360 to continue to improve year over year.
