+ Xbox360 is still cheaper than ps3 so no need for price cut.

not all people  buy at the lowest entry price point you know.

True, but it's still an option.  Imagine how much lower the 360's numbers would be without the $199 model.  Also, that is NPD data.  NPD data that includes the GeOW3 bundle.  We have no idea what the ratio is in EMEAA and Japan.

August not includes GOW3 bundle,and NPD said around 50% were Kinect bundle(299,399)

and no price cut is no price cut,the 199 thing is arrived long time,no one care lowest price or not

if MS wanna defend it,they need price cut(149,249,349 or something like)

My point still stands.  This is just for the US.  For all we know, the $199 makes up 50% or more of sales in EMEAA+Japan, regions where Kinect isn't doing so hot.  Either way, without the lower price point, the 360 wouldn't sell as much.  And yes, the $199 has been around awhile.  Why do you think MS has always been able to keep in 2nd?  Yes, some of that has to do with games, but it's mainly because they have been able to keep the main thing working against the PS3 alive, the PRICE DIFFERENCE.  However, that isn't a problem anymore, which is why the PS3 has been able to reduce an 8 million sold gap that was built up over ~3 years (when MS always had price on their side) to 2.6 million in the ~2 years since the drop to $299 (now $249).  And the gap is only going to get smaller when the PS3 finally reaches that $199 price tag.

do you know my much sales of 360S 4GB first week in japan?700(that week 360 sold around 4000)

thats your 50%?

and i tell you,yeah lowest,but it was 100$ different and now is 50$,and 249$ ps3 have HDD(160GB),199$ 360 not,and kivi95 was talk about price-cut first,not price point

keep your Imagine,you always think you are winner if you last reply in a thread,even it's not about win or lose
