There will most likely be an Xbox 360 price cut this year so I don't think PS3 has a chance to win this year despite the lead it currently has this year. So unless PS3 also gets a price cut I don't expect the gap to lower significantly any time soon. |
I dont think a price cut will entice people to buy more 250GB 360's. There will possibly be a boost during september if the price drops and a holiday boost as well, but thats about it. The Kinect bundle is what has been hot since the end of 2010 and that I believe is $299. Microsoft will try to bag as many actual gamers as they can, but it wont be a match for those Kinect attach rate numbers. Microsoft needs to get more exclusives or Kinect will continue to be where the hot sales are coming from.

I think 2011 sales proved that 360 owners don't care about exclusives.
The only big exclusive was Gears 3 and it sold well! The best selling Kinect game was Just Dance 3(multiplatform) wasn't it?

Just Dance and Dance Central 2 were close in sales on the Kinect. 2011 didn't prove that 360 owners dont care about exclusives though. Exclusives sell very well on the 360, its just that there are so few of them. Forza 4's value is dropping off the face of the earth WW. I have a feeling that Microsoft will drop Forza if the next one doesnt sell really well. It seems racing simulators are losing their luster. Microsoft needs some more hot exclusives, and I believe they can do it with a couple years left in the gen before they launch a new console. Theres always E3.
Anyway, yeah...Kinect is what is selling the 360 right now.
