It had no effect in Europe, why would it be any different in the US where the Wii has even bigger demand?

Agreed.  I don't know what people are expecting with this price drop.

Especially with the fact that this drop will not be the magnitude of the one in Europe.

Your negative attitude and lies about the X360 are really getting old.

The price drop had great effect in Europe.

Before the price drop in mid March, the X360 sold 50,000 units per week. After the drop it spiked at 80-90,000 units for seweral weeks, and the sustained sales are three months later still around 70,000 per week (in June) - that's a 40% long term increase!

About the magnitude, it was the same as the rumoured one in the US - 50 euros drop on a 349 euro price.
(although there is an added currency effect due to the weakening Dollar vs Euro which has made the X360 around 20-30 euros cheaper, but it's over a period of the last 6 months).
