I hope Sony counter this with something, would make for some interesting Others numbers for a while anyway :D

No. Sony needs to wait as long as possible with the price cut. In most european countries this move won't matter. In UK GT5P bundle will dash this little 360 offensive for sure. They will gain nothing.


 Hah, the bundle that doesn't even come with a full game???

Ask Nintendo if you actually need a FULL game in a bundle to sell like Hotcakes. ;)

I would not be surprised if Sony dropped the price soon, maybe they will introduce the GT 5p bundle at £275, £25 off

The only price drop that would really get me interested in a 360 would be if they dropped it by £50 to £200

@kber

I hear what you are saying, and i also don't think Sony have anything to worry about when it comes to this price-cut... but it would be nice for them to do one too, spark-up some nice high sales for a while!

I mean if the PS3 was

what's the reason behind it?

Weak US dollar? (no price-cut in US)

weak sales number (price-cut imminent in US AND Japan)

 yep and yep

Ur funny. Now that the 360's price is under that of the Wii and way under the PS3 sales will be doubled at least.


You are dreaming sir. Take a look at weekly others chart. This brand simply doesn't sell outside UK. In most countries PS3 sells at least twice as good as MS's baby. People want games X360 doesn't offer and GT is one of these games.

Even with the MS price cut, it will only be UK Aus and maybe Germany that see a substantial boost. PS3 EU weekly lead will probably be around 10k at least similar to 360 in US. GT 5 prolouge will increase this followed up by MGS in June. Sony will slowly catch up then a price cut around November.



Ynwa.

I didn't say it would double the sales of the PS3's now did I? I said it will at least double their current sales, so that doesn't automaticly mean it will surpass the PS3 sales. Double sales in Spains is still well under that of the PS3's, but is still doubled.



You aint found shit!
