I wonder..

If the ps3 drops to 299 in europe.. what will that do?

 

Heads will roll. 

Eyes will roll.

 

Rol will roll.

 

Rick will roll.

lol

anyway, has MS finished the Arcade price cuts in all regions now? every time I look it seems to having a cut in another region. (Why did they not cut it all at once? stock constraints?)

so if sony 299 in europe, MS, just drop the price of arcade again, no big deal, remember, it is PS3 in deep red. also comnined CPU&GPU targetted for 2009, here we come slim Xbox 360.

All I can say is lol.

Microsoft really can't afford to reduce the 360 in price much longer and still remain remotely profitable. This will likely be the last price-drop that Microsoft can afford before significantly redesigning the system. Sony on the other hand has plenty of room at 400 to issue a price-drop and remain profitable.

360 is still way in the red too mate, and the price cuts aren't going to help bring it into the green for quite a while. Furthermore, your argument against the PS3's profitability isn't valid since its software sales make up for the losses on the hardware sales which the recent inclusion of the new 65nm RSX chips will help reduce. And in case you weren't aware, PS3 is just as likely to see a slim model released with the new 45nm Cell coming next year too.

there will be a huge boost in october & november with the price cut & the release of big games like Fable 2 & Gears of War 2 ... its will be a fabulous boost.



Only 7k more for PS3. 360 will win this week.

360 has been getting outsold 20-40K by the PS3 each week in Others until this week. Off of just 2 days of a price cut the 360 is within 5k of PS3.....that my friends, is awesome.

People were just saying "360 will get outsold by at least 10-20k BY PS3, even with Europe price cut", and "WW sales are what matters, 360 cant make up the difference in NA". Now it's "360 price cut did horrible because it didnt outsell PS3 in Others,". In 2 days people.....2 DAYS!!

The lack of consistency in posts is astounding, XD. Great job 360, keep it up!!




 

And yet, you seem to forgot that it has been stated (and shown) that the most sales are done in the first few days and that the sales then gradually drop to a level where they stabilize.  Europe is already the market where the xbox struggles for some unknown reason, and yet you think they will outblast their own increase in the first two days (best two days usually).

If the ps3 showed such an increase in the first few days, undoubtedly many of the posters would go "wow, only such a small increase, it is doomed to fail, the first few days are vital". 


The lack of consistency in posts is astounding, XD.

Indeed.  Indeed



the gap between 2 console is getting so close.
according to many 360 owner they think 360 will out sold ps3 next week in EU

.......PS3 DOOMED



according to many 360 owner

If they have the same level of objectivity as you do, no wonder that they think that...
