Exactly, yet despite that it's posting it's best figures ... out of the 3 holidays it's been $299, do you get my post now BHR?

I don't see anyone say "PS3 is doomed"

Black Ops is a success, but judging by all the figures MS released, (and Nintendo) they're both BIG successes this November as well.

Were you not saying PS3 was gonna be adjusted after NPD? You got your wish it seems.

i get your post but some of these comments in here are a little over exaggerated to me, i mean i can come up with a whole bunch of achievements and stats on a global level for my preferred console in fact i have one in my sig

its posting its best holiday figures this year b/c out of the last 3 yrs at 199 and 299 this year MS offered more console for the money combined this with kenict launch and mega american desired SW releases like cod and AC ect..  Its a no brainier for the american audience on which console to choose when desiring those types of SW.  While sony has been pretty competitive on WW level at price no lower that 299, it actually has been offering less console for the money recently with the exception of the HHD sizes 

it also doesnt really matter if its been 199 for 3 yrs or even 5yrs when your at the low price level and one uping the competition that is $100 more by adding desired features to the HW, acquiring time exclusive DLC for mega franchises, and releasing a motion devise with mega budget advertising to compete with its competitors, the 360 could have been priced higher than it already is as long as it achieved the above mentioned i believe the same results would reoccur.  For an example the wii, it was achieving below average sales just a while ago and with no price cut boom pretty close to where it was, it didnt need a price cut it recently did things i mentioned with the 360

the ps3 hasnt done those things this holiday season and thats why its in last for Nov Npd but like i mentioned in my other thread sony is just waiting for the comp. to be at its weakest to come out from cover and with recent announcements i believe that time will be around this time next year

i dont find this incredible or fascinating ok Seece?

LOL, yes Sony is waiting for the competition to be weak before they hit $199, nothing to do with the fact they can't actually afford to price the PS3 and $199, not at all!!

If Sony could put the PS3 at $199 tomorrow with it making good business sense, trust me, they would.

You're forgetting, Kinect IS having an impact. And next holiday not only will Kinect get a price cut, but the 360 will too. More than enough to combat a $199 PS3 in NA. Can't speak for WW, but again, this is NPD thread
