Price cut

Does anyone really think Sony is going to lose by hundreds of thousands? Like last year?

I do. Halo and another price cut will give MS a comfortable win in the US over the last few months. Don't think the third party deals are going to do as much as some think.

I would expect those 3rd party deals to be quite significant, actually. We're well into this gen, and the biggest sellers have all been 3rd party multiplats. Knowing that and knowing that Sony has outsold MS nearly 2:1, the average consumer has little to differentiate between their offerings. If the games are effectively the same, then the controller of the marketing of those games and/or the seller of the reputedly better platform should expect significant success.

WE are discerning customers; the masses are not.
