No, Wii won't have another price cut. Should've said that...

I reckon the PS3 will sell much better than the 360, and slightly better than the Wii, this holiday.

Nothing to back it up. Just a hunch.

Sorry just dont see it. Price cuts will not be a differentiator since they will both have basically equivalent cuts. Not 1 single difference maker game like last year with GT5 to create any game based spike.  So dont see how PS3 could even come close to have a much better holiday then the 360 and the Wii wont take off like last year come November to close the gap. Those days are over.

Any equal price cut will favor the ps3, the 360 already has a model thats 100 less and ps3 is the one comming out with the games, 360s got next to nothing this year, there's no way 360 will sell the most this year 

haha you forgot that there is plenty of room for a price cut with the Kinect+360 bundles. Those WILL make a difference, especially in the holiday season.
and please don't tell me that Halo Remake, Gears of War 3 and Forza 4 + bunch of Kinect games like Kinect Sports Season 2 and Dance Central 2 will attract less consumers than Uncharted 3, Resistance 3 and Twisted Metal (and other games I may have forgotten to mention at this point).

Everyone who cares about halo or gears has a 360 already, and no I didn't forget it just doesn't matter, there's a reason kinect sales have been droping consistently it sucks people are starting to realize there aren't any good games for it, and from what I've seen there aren't going to be anytime soon, a price cut isn't going to change that, kinect is all MS has to drive sales and it's already running out of steam, and I know you forgot about the psmove, which sales are far more stable then kinects, Sony could cut the price of the move bundle and match it and again any equal price cut will favor the ps3 because it has more features and better games and is just a better piece of hardware

Haha you serious ?

Kinect is selling ~45k every week. Move around 15k.

Even if all people caring about Gears and Halo already have a 360, I asked you why you expect it to attract less consumers than the PS3 even though most of the games coming out for it this holiday are also sequels or games with a not as high selling potential as other blockbusters. There is no software at the moment that will drive hardware sales to unseen grounds.
But what you probably also didn't know. 80.000 people bought a 360 CoD:BO bundle last year (or was it MW2 in the year before ?). Anyway apparently not all people that are interested in CoD bought a console yet. Every big game makes an impact on hardware sales. Even if there are already games of the same series available on the same platform.

You forgot or just didn't know that the holidays are dominated by casual gamers. That is the reason why the Wii was still alive and why Kinect was such a huge success last year.
