If the official price for 360 stays as it is I think it'll have a hard time clawing back the lead it's giving away at the moment. Looks like the deficit it's going to carry in to the Holidays will be between 800K and 1 million off target. It's hard to see how 360 is going to claw back nearly 1 million units. Americas loves 360. But most of the rest of the world is going to see that $50 (equivalent) PS3 price cut as a pretty good deal. 360 can't do it in the Americas alone. And UK/Aussie aren't enough of a support crew to help it over the hurdle.
Official price cut: can do.
No official price cut: unlikely.
