Can X360/PS3 reach 100 million sold units?

Every Boxing Week and New Years sale since December 2010 has seen the 360 on sale for $130 or less. Price really isn't that much of an obstacle to 360 adoption. Also, you misinterpret "little to gain" as "wouldn't stimulate". little =/= nothing. The 360 has little to gain from further price cuts when compared to the PS3 = fact. Price is a bigger obstacle for the PS3 than the 360 = fact. The PS3's entry model is more expensive, therefore a price cut will benefit it to a much larger degree = fact.

Since when was profitability a point of this discussion? Since when was the importance of the PS3 outselling the 360 a point of this discussion?

Yes, Sony sure is incompetent. That doesn't really change the fact that the PS3 is going to overtake the 360 in total unit sales.

Your view on console generations is foolish. The WiiU will launch close to the PS4 and Xbox Trinity / Delta and will compete directly against those systems, therefore they are in the same generation. Nothing can change that very simple definition. Also, I disagree about the timing of the end of this generation. I don't really think a console generation is over until that generation's hardware is no longer being manufactured.

Very, very poor post Mr. Puggsly, you are capable of much more well thought out and relevant arguments then this. As they say on 4chan... "Son, I am Disappoint"

I personally have never seen the Xbox 360 for $130. The cheapest I've seen is $150 during Black Friday. Those tend to disappear quickly. Eitherway, those are a very limited amount. In case you're under the illusion everyone is getting a 360 at that price.

Since when is profitably a point? If 360 prices went down, sales would go up but profits would be down. Therefore its a valid point. Same goes for online play. Gold accounts push people away from the 360, but its still significantly more profitable to charge even if you end up with smaller userbase.

People don't care that PS3 is going to overtake the 360. It was expected before this gen began and its laughable how long its taking. Its just a silly, meaningless victory for Sony and its fans. Ultimately, the 360 was a huge leap forward for the Xbox brand. PS3 on the other hand was a lot of mistakes.

I was joking about the Wii U. If that wasn't obvious, my mistake.

I feel a hardware generation ends when all the major competitors release new hardware because the new hardware becomes the focus. Even though PS2 has the biggest userbase ever (bigger than the HD twins combined), its support dwindled rather quickly.

My post wasn't poor, but your logic and comprehension... lets just avoid the personal attacks.
