man Xbox is eating their competitors...sad thing for Wii...for PS3 isnt that bad because it rarely sold better than the Xbox in america...but still my opinion is that Sony should do something over there...i think Sony is a little bit too optimistic with KZ3...maybe Sony think this will have a little impact and yes it will maybe have...but only for one week and Xbox is outselling PS 2:1...and Killzone will never push like 60-70k more consoles over there ^^

Price price price

$299 is where PS3 is at, thats where PS2 launched. Lets be happy to see PS3 doing this well worldwide despite that.

Wait till $199...

lol... nice spin.

The X360 is $299 and is selling like hotcakes despite being one year older, less powerful, no bluray, no free online. (the Arcade is for casuals, minor sales)

Both will drop to $249 this year and the sales ratio will be maintained.

Slimebeast lets not pretend there isn't a $199 Xbox 360 SKU and that SKU doesn't sell well.

Your basically comparing the costliest Xbox 360 SKU with the cheapest PS3 one. Don't forget the costliest PS3 SKU is still $349.

@BenVTtrigger

Yeah 360 hasn't had a price cut in 2 years either. But as PS3 costs more in general a price cut should have a greater effect as your going from a comparably higher price to a lower price.

Actually the costliest 360 is the $400 250GIG Kinect 360, and Arcade model 360's don't sell that well. Patcher has stated in the past they only account for 10% of sales, but with a $300 Kinect arcade bundle that might change. Still $50 off the Arcade, and a equivalently priced large Hard Drive model, thats only going to help maintain the current sales ratio.
