just 40% is a disaster with that kind of significant price drop, 80€. This really shows x360 is a lost cause in europe. The price drop will work for another week in uk, but then it fades. And for the rest of europe the price drop hardly makes any impact.

It's game over for x360 in europe!

Buy a X360 now, while you still can (and works)!

No they didn't advertise, i think even with advertising it won't help much, wait until next week. If there is no significant boost then game over for 360 in EU.


So the 360 won't feature in the March 29th "Others" figures if there isn't a significant boost in the 22nd figures?


 What i simply mean is that if a pricecut won't help beat the PS3 then nothing will and 360 will fall to 3rd in others and stay there.

Stop trolling for a moment and tell me where I said anything about advertising that wasn't justified.

Go on.

Do it.

Auron.  He's the biggest hypocrite.  He berates me for daring to post in Sony forums, then comes into a thread that has nothing to do with the PS3 in the Microsoft forums and makes sarcastic, trollish comments about anything I say.

Your fine.

Don't mean to troll but didn't the PS3's sales increase 185% the week after it had a pricedrop in europe



Hi, i'm solojohlo and i'm pretty fucking awesome

There is still no price cut in my country. I think it will take 1-3 weeks to come here.



Does any country in europe get a free warrenty like the US does? Also how can sales be up 40% if they were having a "shortage?" Not trolling just curious.

Imagine a whole week in the UK with price cut having an impact? This was like only one or two days. The sales will improve for a few weeks than flatten out.

Remember that generally most electronics sales occur on Friday and especially Saturday.  Monday through Thursday percentage of sales for electronics goods is normally small next to weekend - i.e. the Friday/ Saturday sales noted should make up bulk of sales through to next Friday, so a whole week will probably not look much bigger.

You rarely get equal sales each day of the week for something like a games console.  Often 60% or more of sales occur Friday/Satuday with most on Saturday.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
