I wonder if the production costs of the 360 will be reduced with the new Jasper chip? This will mean more profit for MS with every console sold. Cheaper production costs will also mean the selling price of the console will be reduced. Cheaper production of consoles will obviously result in price cuts in all regions that will further boost sales.

This and exclusives might help them pick up the pace. Only thing holding down 360's reputation is RRoD.


i think that without RRoD 1 year head start would have been almost impossible for PS3 to recover.

 

X360 is still held down by RRoD (i still haven't bought one for this reason) and 1 Billion dollars invested by MS to extend warranty surely didn't help MS to fight the "price war" more aggressively. Without RRoD probably by now x360 would cost 199$...
