It depends entirely on pricing, but i don't think it will have nearly as much of an impact as Slim had on PS3. Slim was only significant in that it dragged the price down to $300, and that was only significant because that was the first time the PS3 was properly available at a mass-market price. 360 has long since surpassed that mark.


Exactly, in the public's eye, the Xbox 360 cannot get any cheaper for it already is pretty cheap. The PS3 has always been known as the wallet-puncher, so when a price drop as significant as the Slim release price launched. Millions came out in droves to purchase it. 


true but in the U.S. xbox 360 still sold more than the ps3 in the holiday season when slim came out

Say whaaaat! I must have not noticed that....Btw, your Profile picture is awesome :D

I don't really see the sales of the 360 going insanely high. I mean of course it will get a slight boost. But the console is already priced at a fair level. If people wanted it, they would have bought it already.

It's 3rd place for Sony whether anyone likes it or not. M$ havent even bothered to answer Sony's PS3 slim and price drop for 7 months. This Novemeber we see why. Kinect and 360 plus will fly off shelves.

dam selnor, that's a mighty bold prediction

i dont think that will really happen. I actually think the 3DS will fly off shelves. People who want a christmas gift will likely choose 3ds over 360. Im just saying.

There in different markets. I think console wise 360 plus and Kinect package will sell huge.

It's my opinion. Insults are a form of fear. ;)
