clearly the price cut couldn't help x360 becoming #1 HD console in EU..but on the other side: 1)even with 100k difference per week (which won't be the standard I suppose in the following months) it would take 60 weeks for the ps3 to close the gap WW....and, thus even in this "worst-case-scenario" (100k+ per week), we can suppose that PS3 won't surpass X360 before 30M milestone.
2)it helped x360 improve sales on year to year basis...so we can argue that PS3 will win the "HD console war" (for the "next gen war" Wii is a much tougher "enemy") but X360 is far from being dead.
3)PS3 is more successful than x360...but is not PS2 and won't dwarf competition -> 3rd party developers won't give exclusives to ps3 the way they used to do in past generation....in a way we can still say that MS succeded in gaining some more "respect" in the gaming industry.
