its just the price of PS3 which can be the defining factor. Even at current price its holding up to the sales of its cheaper competitors which is impressive. Just expecting a price-cut in(Oct-Nov) the 4th quarter that can bring a large boost on EMAA and also Americas to some extent thus making the outship highly probable.

Well it's not actually keeping up with the Wii, and the 360 is the same price. Patner said that over 80% of people get the Elite 360 over the Arcade version, but with a $300 Kinect bundle, that might still steal sales. Still either way, most 360's sold cost the same as a PS3, so a price cut on the HD consoles should affect both equally.

So outshiping... Just like every other year on VGC, not likely, not with Kinect doing what it's doing.

Current Kinect bundles are not going to sell equally across all the regions  unless the 4GB constraint(aimed for casual gamers) is removed. No Kinect  bundles other than  4GB exist so far. MS would wait until the 4th quarter to reduce the price for that bundle. By then its important they release 250 GB kinect bundle at current price or otherwise PS3 Move bundle would be a better option for casual and hardcore with its reduced price. 80% of people as u mentioned are
comprising only from Americas and it's true Elite 360 is the best buy there. EMAA and Japan are already owned by ps3.

They have bundled the 250 gig 360 with Kinect too, it's not just a Kinect/Arcade 360 bundle like you say. It's $400 just like the PS3/Move bundle.

As for the rest, I have no clue what your talking about. If they reduced the price of the PS3 Move bundle, wouldn't MS follow suite with it's respective Kinect bundles? Thus the price of the mojority of 360's sold will match the price of PS3's.

Wait what region are you from? I believe in some European Regions, the PS3 Move bundle is sold at $350 US dollars. Maybe where you live, there is no 360 Elite Kinect bundle. Still why do you say the PS3 Move bundle is cheaper then the MS Kinect bundle? Thats not true in Americas, UK, and most of Europe, which comprimise most 360 selling regions.
