It's funny how the X360 got a temporary $50 dollar price cut for the holiday and the PS3 got a $20 dollar price rise after the E3. And the PS3 is still selling as well, if not better. I only mentioned it because both consoles are bundle with a Game or 2 and I would have thought the PS3 would have had lower sales and the X360 would of had a higher sell rate in all areas. With that said, the 360 is still selling better in the US and the PS3 is still selling better in Europe.

But nonetheless, both consoles are doing well with the prices they currently have.

Microsoft has been looking for reasons not to drop the cost of the 360's, bundling it with anything they can. The Xbox 360's haven't dropped price in god knows how long. It's only had $100 of the price cut in seven years. Based on Sonys price cuts the 360 should competitively be around $150. Their bundles have sold stellar so kudos to them.

It's mainly because the XBox 360 isn't selling as well in Europe as it has the previous holidays. It always sells poorly in Japan, which is one of the main reasons the PS3 is even catching up. Remove Japan from the equation and the 360 would be about 5-6 million units ahead of the PS3. There's really no fair ground in Japan (and all of Asia really) as their country and people don't like American game consoles or out games. I usually don't even include Japan in my stats. US & Europe are the only relevant countries.
