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.

1. might be true might not be all they need is ff13 in japan.

2. no one thinks the 360 is dead.. its just not going as fast as ps3 which is bad because of the price... once sony lowers its really not gonna be any room for 360 to lower more.

3. people seem to think microsoft is killing sony in market share when thats really not the case. the only one that will get exclusive games is the wii. all those HD games will not go to 360 alone. it will go to both ps3 and 360. nintendo stole all the market share fom ps2 not 360. people are 4getting that. Only respect microsoft has gained was that it needed a head start to get 1st and second year exculsives... after this year most will go to wii.

 1. ok...but ff13 isn't expcted this year...so 60 weeks is still "worst-case-scenario" for x360 IMO

2. actually a lot of people are stating that x360 is dead...to me it's still "alive and kickin". I think that x360 has reached a new "plateau": not as high as PS3, but, still, higher than last year (positive trend for 3 years in a row)

3.i've never said that MS was going to kill Sony's marketshare...but, you'll agree, MS has managed to create a platform that's gonna rival with PS3 much more than expected while earning some money in the meantime...that's surely better than past generation (almost no competition and huge losses) . If to this picture we add that x360 has gained a status of "remunerative platform" (can't be denied) for 3rd party developers i think that x360's future is afterall still bright.
