Like I said PS3 is doing good.  It took a $200 price cut, 4 SKUs, some excellent titles at Christmas (R&C, CoD4, UT III, Drake), the promise of MGS4, FF XIII, Resistance 2, LBP, GT5, continued Home Vaporware showings, a blu-ray win, but they are now doing good.

What more can they do in the immediate term?  I don't think much.

wasnt the price cut just $100 on 2 skus? it doesnt make sence to add em together. 

and what can ms do in the immediate term? not much either...oh wait, they can screw all x360 arcade owners with gtiv dlc. tough luck to those who bought an arcade and want the dlc. looks like your cost saving was short lived as you have to go out and buy a hd for your 360. wait, they've already been screwing the arcade owners coz a lot of 360 games needs a hd. way to go microsoft!


First, the 20 and 60 were released at 499 and 599 where the 60 was the best seller...  Then the 20 was disc'd (due to crappy sales) and the 60 was reduced to 499, and then the 80 was released at 599...  Then, the 60 was disco'd, and the 80 was reduced to 499 (and sales were stagnant), then they released the 40 for 399 which is the best seller...  So, one PS3 day one the best selling SKU was 599, and now it is 399...  That is a 200 price drop on the best selling SKU.  We won't mention that the two SKUs they started with have disappearred while the 360 still has the premo going into its third year.

And as for DLC on GTA I have HD's for my 360...  And a 360 Arcade owner can buy a hard drive and play it... It doesn't matter what a PS3 owner does...  They won't be able to play it on their PS3 no matter how many upgrades they buy.
