Forums - Sales - EU SALES UP!---360 Price DROP--Fails or NOT??

This gives Sony a lot of fresh air I think.

Sony before price drop
"Hell yeah we're cruisin"

Sony 2 weeks ago
"Oh no we are at a stable state with sales if this price drop cipples us even with GT5:P we will have to react"

Sony now
"Oh no worries. Phew that might have been bad but our sales are uneffected. Let's keep on rollin for a few more months then go for a KO in this region."

Not great, not terrible. I expected a higher jump but it's not really surprising given the month. This is the time of year when videogaming goes to die. Unless a system is massively popular like the Wii, there aren't going to be any massive spikes unless a blockbuster game releases.

If in three weeks the 360 is back down to sub-50k levels in Others, then it is definitely a failure. If it stays around 60k/week, it's not that bad.

Time will tell.

I agree with you mister pig .... the wiser post i've seen in this thread :)

 hehe couldn't have put it better.  GT5:P will provide an uppercut to the 360 and bring it almost on the ropes.



I agree with PooperScooper... if this wasn't enought for the X369 to surpass the week of the big spike of the price drop to the PS3 ..."no worries" for Sony

DS/Wii kept the trend, wow

Up and down Wii goes. Where will it stop? NOBODY KNOWS!

Price cut didn't help as much as I thought. I mean, if it's cheaper than the Wii, shouldn't it sell more than it? Since price is the only reason anyone buys the Wii, or at least retarded parents who go to the store and see a $400 PS3 and are like "oh these Wii's are so much cheaper!"

It'll be interesting to see what GT5:P does next week for PS3... and how long it lasts.

Wow. This must be terrible news for Microsoft. Even with the price drop, it still couldn't beat the PS3. It looks like the Xbox 360 is permanently in third place.

 



Way to go MS... you dumb ass's

You should of cut the 360 price last year!

Price cut = Failed

Yeah, the price cut shouldn't have been right before GT5:P.

If it would have been a success, MS would have been a genius....BUT since it wasn't, they just lost all the steam of the price drop because of GT5:P release. A lot of people may have bought a 360 if they would have done this a month or two earlier...but with GT5:P here, that didn't happen.

 I see no trolling inhis post.  In fact i applaud him for not trying to spin this like other 360 fans have.
