The pricedrop in europe had no effect on the xbox sales, rather the sales are lower than ever before. I think a pricedrop in US will have the same effect.

 Sony will wait for a few months and respond by outselling the X360 with more exclusive PS3 games + no price cut.

It's 99% certain that the PS3 won't see a pricecut this financial year (until 31 March 2009) unless they can drastically reduce the production costs.
Their statements are pretty clear about profitability.

I think worldwide the PS3 will keep outselling the 360, in the US though the PS3 will suffer due to a 360 pricecut there. I expect the 360 to consistently outsell the PS3 there from the pricecut until the holidays.

Killzone 2 and RFOM2? Bah! I would take left 4 dead over the whole lineup of PS3 exclusives. Valve is Jesus and Microsoft is god to me.

A: According to the claims of many people the PS3 SHOULD be outselling the Xbox360 handily, especially in the U.S market. And according to many people, the direct opposite should be happening. What s your point? Using Rock on as an example would only be interesting if rock on somehow managed to influence the market in any way. This ofcourse is not at all true.

B: Not a nonsense paragraph. I was talking about marketing as my main point. The fact that the PS3 was bringing forth a lot of shooters was just used to support my argument about the relative strengths of each consoles marketing efforts. You say it yourself - saturated market. You support MY point that the Xbox360s exclusive games are more fitting for the current market dynamics. I also never said that you said that, I was saying "Its funny I hear "the Xbox360 is just a shooter console" And yet the PS3 is the one coming out with the big shooter games this year. Isn't it bad marketing to be a year behind the Xbox360 going for a market already tapped?" Read the whole sentance before you jump on the first part huh? The italic part is most interesting.

?, how the hell did your brain make the connection that while I was talking about the userbase being so much bigger then the PS3s has saturated the market, you somehow assumed I was talking about software? The userbase consists of hardware. No one cares about your generic shooters, rpg story we see in every topic here and least off all I do. Get your facts straight by starting out with the facts please. You are just making up stuff now.

C: Australia is one of the hottest countries in the world, it can have temperatures reaching as high as 40 degrees WITH high humidity  or 50 without and furthermore a much greater percentage of the country experiences such high temperatures AND it has a relatively higher Xbox360 install base compared to the PS3. So it is both hotter on average and hotter in absolute terms. The middle east doesn't matter because it hardly has an consoles to compare it to.

First off, thanks for cherry picking out one single example (which currently is a huge market for the PS2, the best selling console in history as you may recall) and ignoring the rest. The main reason why the 360 is so much larger in Austarlia is the one year start and the fact that the PS3 is really expensive there. The Wii however easily outsells them.

Bah! Its not going to be fruitful, just round and round we go.

You have just lost all credibility in my eyes. Most only dislike one corporation less then the other which can still lead to fanboyism. But you actually respect Microsoft? Have you been brain-washed? If god gave me a bible that broke down constantly I'd hate him!

FULLY available 80GB MGS4 bundle would be perfect response. =)
So, there is nothing to worry about. =]

What kind of numbers would a full supply of the 80gb sku produce. Give me an estimate.

I would say an estimated 20k for each week after higher then normal boosts from the re-introduction of the 80gb model.
