Key words in that entire article: "North America"

It goes without saying that he was talking about the world.

It shows though how video game analysts are far to close minded -- sure the 360 is outselling the PS3 in North America, but it is behind in Europe and in many regions like Japan it is barly competing now. 

 Personally i wouldn't be surprised to see Microsoft drop the price of Kinect and the price of the Kinect bundles by $50 -- that would drive sales up worldwide and help Microsoft target the casual market.

no it shows how you are trying to nitpick everything. Sony is struggling in North America, and the analyst pointed out that out and that sony is cutting its price to try to stay competitive in North America. Why is there anything wrong with him mentioning that. Thats why he specifically said North America is where the ps3 needs a boost.

Does Europe also get a price cut for the PS3?

Nope they waited for biggest European games fair just to annouce NA and Japan only drop ;)

 

But still i think Xbox will win in USA anyway but Sony is going to increase it's advantage in Europe as well as increase the lead in Japan.
