No, this price cut was not about how well it would do in the next 2-3 weeks, this was about boosting sales until the end of the year, and have enough time to boost sales, so that when the Wii U comes they come out with another price drop.
People over analyze 3 to 5 weeks after price cuts in general. Same thing with 3ds, the price cut was not effective because they had monster numbers immediately after price drop, it was effective because they keep selling 200k plus weeks later without decent software, and that is impressive.
PS3 is selling 165k plus without big software, I think that is good for a old machine. And another thing, Is we all know that Sony is not the best when it comes to informing consumers about the goodies their products have, even after the price cut it took along time to see adds about it.
Another thing, don´t ever bring Americas sales compared to 360, for the simple fact that theres nothing sony can do (this generation). If Sony dropped 50 today, they would still not sell more then the 360 in Americas, this is not about quality of choice, this is about how strong 360 is in there.
