Yeah, some effect. Almost back to pre-price drop levels in America.

Japanese sales fell hard from last week.

And it's still losing to PS3 in Others.

And the PS3 is still losing WW even though its had $200 cut from its orig price and its the best blu ray player.

Wow.

Still living in 2007 eh?

No, its just that SONY fanboys start attacking the 360 when it drops in price saying how desperate MS is although it hasn't had that big of a drop compared to the PS3. Now they say wait for when PS3 drops to $299. It seems they're always waiting for something.

Werent 360 fanboys saying that once the 360 uses its price advantage and hits $199 it would be all over for the PS3? I really don't see that right now, and next week will acutally most likely be close, with the PS3 potentially pulling ahead with its advantages in Others and Japan.

And when you are already the cheapest console in Europe after a price drop THIS YEAR yet you drop the price yet again, is that now desperation? If the PS3 were to hit $199 in NA do you think it would ever sell less than 100,000 a week? Demand is higher for the PS3, if it were higher for the 360 they wouldn't have dropped the price in the first place.

So in 2007, it WAS the best best Blu-Ray player and HAD a $200 price cut? And in 2008 its not? then what IS the best blu-ray player, and what is the price drop since launch now? Because i've been kinda wanting a Bu-Ray player for a while, and if there really are better ones for cheaper out there...

Actually the 360 is more expensive. 360 pro is $299 + 100 wireless adapter + $100 for two years of online + $200 blu ray player >>>>>>> PS3 40Gig. Its just that MS was smarter and decided to give option to the buyer instead of being forced to buy everything.

Personaly I would say that the PS3 will land in 3rd place in NA. 2nd place in Japan and probably 2nd place in Europe.

So no I don't think the price drop means its all over for the PS3. But I do think it will be years before the PS3 catches up to the 360 WW numbers.

This is the second full week of the price cut, so 71k is a shame. That's not even 50% more than it was before the cut (50k). I don't understand those xbots saying that the 360 will beat the PS3 WORLDWIDE because of another FPS for the Shooterbox (Gears 2).

"Looks like the 360 price cut has had some unimpressive effect"
