Dodece is talking bout a $50 price cut on all MS skus at or a few days after MW3 launches

If you're deducing correctly than LOL what a hippocrite, talking about the pointlessness of price cuts while anticipating an enormous impact from one in the future. Of course only if you're correct. Even then I doubt a $50 cut will be enough to turn things around for MS, especially after the adjustments we'll be seeing after NPD and likely again once quarterly reports come in.

hmm? i beg of you to reconsider what your doing here this thread will be more important to you than you know 

 

ive made it clear on which console i believe will be #1 for 2011 a long time ago unlike certain users i dont need to wait for more data and time to go by or even for a company to announce there going to be number one before making a thread

as of right now even with my beliefs and what the stars have told me i wouldnt be surprised if MS can steal the year, 360 is up in NA from last yr Jan- now and thats with the relaunch it had last yr, from now till end of dec the 360 sold 2M more than the PS3 in NA i see that number being higher this year.  i believe MW3 and BF3 and skyrim will have a bigger effect than last yr with kinect, i believe people do not know how big MW3 will be similar to how they didnt see how big BO would be... even on the PS3

in all the other regions the ps3 outsold the 360 by only 1.5M last yr from mid oct. till end of 2010 if the 360 and ps3 performer relatively the same as last yr this would give the overall edge to the 360 by 500k.  but as i mentioned before in here the 360 would need a price cut at least in EU (since thats the region there down from last yr) to keep things the same as they where last yr, but with my forecast of 360 performing better in NA this yr which "could" account for an extra 500k or so, its kinda hard for me not seeing this as "possibility" of happening

Uhh, I think you misinterpreted something. I wasn't calling you a hippocrite, I was talking about Dodece. His earlier post basically said that price cuts were pointless this late into the generation. And in regards to the 360 vs PS3 in Americas comparison you overlooked something. Once adjustments for NPD come in PS3 will be trending up YOY in Americas and between the Battlefield 3 and Uncharted 3 bundles it will likely continue to be up rather significantly YOY in Americas from here on out, I'm thinking about 700k up in Americas for the rest of the year. 360 is up YOY in Americas but this is before lapping the Kinect launch. Even with a $50 price cut I cant see 360 beating its post-Kinect launch numbers in the region, and if it does it won't be by a significant margin. Also after seeing NPD I'm thinking PS3 might be undetracked in EMEAA. The price cut hasn't seemed to have nearly as big of a boost there as you would think, particularly in Australia. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=135370&page=1#And PS3 should be up YOY in Japan by about 300k-400k for the rest of the year
