I don't really see ms cutting the price on the 360 this year. They're making a billion a year in profits, raping the ps3 in the Americas and UK, and only slightly behind in Europe. I don't think they're worried about Japan and the emerging markets as anti-americanism {not referring to Japan here - talking MEAA} isn't something marketing or pricecuts is going to overcome anyways.
The only way I see a price cut is if sales start dropping significantly yoy or if they announce the nextbox.

Really now? Makes you wonder what Wii and PS3 had sold in USA if they weren't so anti-japanese

Yeah because the best selling auto maker in the US is Toyota.

I think it's rather funny how people are saying the 360 lost. I think they are both winners (360 and ps3). The ps3 because it sold so well in the year and the 360 because it erased a 1.5 million lead almost completely in 2 months.

And the last time I looked the best selling console in the U.S. is the Wii. And I bolded so you can read better.

Nooo 360 beaten by PS3. Well since the holidays are over.........and since 360 has been selling on 2008 prices this whole time (!).......they will cut the price in 2012. Sooner the better.

But seeing 3DS vs Vita sales puts a smile on my face


Cheapest 360 in Holiday 2008 was $299 (Price cut from $349 20GB). Nowadays you can get one for $200. That isn't 2008 price.

 

Edit - I looked foolish and Sales2099 was in fact correct. Please stop quoting this post.

Yeah because the best selling auto maker in the US is Toyota.

Yeah because the best selling MP3 player in MEAA is from Apple...

And is ther any product comparable to Apple and it's Itunes anywhere? No. Is the a product comparable to the PS3 - yes.

YOY

360 UP 90k (UP 20%)
PS3 UP 61k (UP 11%)
wii DOWN 211k (DOWN 34%)

360 continues its amazing run... PS3 pretty good too, Wii dismal.

Thanks for the numbers,kowen!

And I agree with the bolded part.

Looks like 3DS could not remain leader for the whole Q1, if such a drop continues. Well, it could be expected, it had a lot of bundles, and its main KA, at Christmas. Still it should stabilize at over 200-250k easily.



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)
