| SaviorX said: This past week, the 360 was last (barring a testicular pie) in worldwide sales. The PS3 is slowly closing the gap between itself and the 360; a price cut to $199.99 could be huge. The Wii has no games until Conduit 2 :P and won't even have hope for the future until mid-June at E3...afterwards there will be another 3 month drought until all the titles appear in Q4. People are disKinecting...despite the heavily supported library. Will the Nextbox 720 release this holiday? |
I really do think the 360 is at a crossroads coming soon here.
Price cuts really won't help the 360 too much at this point in my eyes. I really believe and have believed that Kinect is going to be more of a 'Fad' product than anything else (Atleast this generation) and that the boost from it wouldn't even last a year.
They've really used most of their 'exclusives' trump cards and since the PS3 has caught up in a lot of ways it was deficient in early in the race it's becoming harder and harder for the 360 to keep a grip and I think we've finally reached a point where the 360 doesn't have really many releases (Or nearly as many as the PS3) and the prices are comparably cheap and the value packed into the PS3 is being recognized.
I still believe the 360 will remain strong in North America, though. Which still bodes well for their hardware and software sales. The biggest change I am interested in seeing is when the PS3 drops to around $200 retail price. Will this help the PS3 compete in North America or will this still not be enough to compete with the 360. I feel the latter will be the case.
