IS the Europe price cut bigger than first thought? Starts today?

I really think this is 360's last chance to win (or come very close to the PS3) in Europe, so we'll find out pretty soon (and after that, there aren't any excuses left, much like the case for the PS3 when MGS4 and FFXIII are released).

Do you reckon that GTA is considered by most peoples as a Playstation IP in Europe and thus is more than likely to sale A LOT more on PS3 (It will be a HUGE system seller here) than on Xbox360 ?

Look at PES 2008 : it did quite better on PS3, but the PS2 version sold like 3 times this number.

 

GTA4 being a PS3/360 exclusive, most PS2 players should go for a PS3. I think. (Well, I say that as a Wii owner in fact )

 

That is an important factor, but MS will probably have price and the exclusive content on their side, which could also turn out to be pretty important. It's very hard to predict, especially without knowing what MS & Sony will do until launch in terms of marketing (and in Sony's case, whether they do more price cuts which I doubt).

I say all this as a Wii owner too, but I may consider getting a 360 if GTA4 is really good.
