I was wondering if you can add additional lines to the graph to account for potential future XBox 360 price cuts ... I think that is an important part most people miss as a lower price always equates to more units sold.

1 main factor Sony is selling more is because of price cuts. I think if MS became aggressive there, Sony might never catch up.

 

I agree that if MS cut the price of thier console it would make it better value and lead to higher sales. Personally i think that if MS will win this generation if the gap falls between the PS3 and Xbox360.

The price cut will show us if Sony is under presure from shareholders to make a profit or if they are worried about MS, and i dont think they will follow with a price reduction.

if the sales gap narrows by half from 46.4K to 23.2 K, basically it will take until 2012 to catch up.
