Keep in mind there was a time when 360 was outselling the PS3 for more than 14 weeks in a row. Things can change, and before the generation ends it's probably gonna flip back and forth a couple more times.

Keep in mind the 360 had a full year of sales with no competition, and MS blew it, its over for the 360, the PS3 will stay ahead for the rest of the generation. Next target: Nintendo Wii.


And PS3 had to cut it's price $200 in a year to stay competitive. I'm not saying that the 360 WILL come back (though I will say I'm 90% sure the 2 will switch places a few more times), or that 360 will beat the PS3. But it's almost impossible to predict this kind of stuff. Hell, I wouldn't have predicted that a $400 PS3 would be on the market right now. I thought it would be damn near impossible due to cost. But here we are. If Sony could do a desperate move to get back sales, so can MS. It's far from a done deal. And obviously both are getting absolutely eclipsed by the Wii.


I hate that line of reasoning.  The cheapest ps3 is still $130 more expensive than the cheapest 360, yet it still outsells it week to week.

Imagine if the Wii had cost $10,000 on launch day, but then dropped to $250 the very next day.  Then everyone would be going, "yeah, it's in the lead, but it had to have $9,750 worth of price cuts to stay competitive, lulz."
