MS answer to the Sony cut was mass bundles, mass $100 giftcards all over the US and mass advertising with Kinect.
You act like Sony got no bundles, and it didn't have 'mass $100 giftcards', a lot more than PS3 but not a mass amount. PS3 has been advertised way more in the UK than 360 and Kinect have. Whilst the X360 may have had more advertising in the US, remember US /= The World Carl.
It almost worked. They put up a great fight, just like last Year, but it still wasnt enough (pre adjustments), to beat the PS3 for the Year.
Last Year they had Move and GT5 to fight against Halo, Fable, Kinect and "$500 million".
And PS3 had no $$$ spent on advertising of course .. are you ignoring all the other exclusives PS3 had in 2010 0_0
This Year they had a $50 cut and Uncharted 3 to fight against Forza, Gears, Kinect and mass $100 giftcard bundles.
Again, forgetting all the other PS3 exclusives ... and a $50 cut WW for 5 months Vs some $100 giftcard bundles in the US
Add in that the 360 has had exclusive advertising on the 2 biggest games of the Holidays in MW3 and Skyrim... You cant watch a TV channel without seeing a 360 advert at least once |

Depends on how you look at the word "mass". It recieved more than any other console. A whole lot more. It had more deals with giftcards over the Holidays than any other console.
I was talking about the Holidays, quite obviously, but if you want to go into 2010 "exclusives" that were actually meaningful...
PS3 Exclusives - God of War 3, MAG, Heavy Rain, Gran Turismo 5, ModNation Racers, Sports Champions.
Game not on 360 - EyePet,
vs.
X360 Exclusives - Halo Reach, Fable 3, Crackdown 2, Kinect Adventures, Kinect Sports, Kinectimals, Dance Central.
Games not on PS3 - Splinter Cell Conviction, Mass Effect 2
Software lineups were fairly even in 2010 when you actually take time to look up what was released. 2011 is as we know, a totally different story.
Didn't the 360 also have that laptop deal in 2011 too? Along with all those giftcards?

All this is pointless really. Not really sure why I even brought up these "excuses". Whoever wins, wins. Simple as that.
