PS3 sure has a lot of momentum, we have PS3 breaking through in the NPD's, selling better it seems in Europe, the MGS4 pack and Blu Ray wins making gains,
a lot of big games coming up.

I think, if PS3 is still winning after March NPD's (when 360 should be back in total stock), MS really needs a $50 price cut to stabilize things again.

I wouldn't overreact just yet if I was MS. I mean for all we know 360 might win February NPD's with a big month and make all this talk look rather foolish. But as I say a couple more months of this and a cut is needed. I actually expect MS has one planned as well, so I expect they are one step ahead of me, honestly.

They crushed PS3 in software and practically tied Wii - bundles, so it's not all bad for them.

While I would love for 360 to get it's ass kicked, no one can know at this point. It's not looking particularly great though, no.

None of this really matters until April 29th. Not enough units are selling for either console to really make a big difference.

I agree with Rocket. What matters is what is happening a month after GTAIV releases. Right now the 360 has shortages, and both consoles are rumored to have price cut's inbound. What will matter is where the US situation stabilizes after GTAIV.

I think there will be a price cut in April although it would be nice if they had one sooner. It should help GTAIV, Too Human, and Ninja Gaiden move a lot of units.
