Man, I'm impressed with the PS3, good shit.

Also, gift cards are NOT price cuts, how are people still thinking this? Sure it's incentive to buy but official price cuts are all across the board and everyone knows about it. Can't assume everyone knows all of the deals that this store or that store are offering via gift cards. An official price cut of the 360 will do more good than gift cards and there HAS to be one incoming, probably an E3 announcement.

Did I mention that I'm impressed with the PS3? That is the biggest news of this NPD, imo.

Greenberg (The MS guy) cited the main reason for the extremely high November 360 sales to be "extensive deals and gift cards". I'm pretty sure the public new about them

Yeah sure, no argument there. But how many and how huge were they in November? You really gonna try to compare the month that has Blck Friday deals with March? And I'm not saying that the gift cards don't have any impact, just that an official price cut does more. Obviously people knew about them, people were on the hunt for that shit Holiday time. Price cut now > gift cards.
