Forums - Sales - Looks like the 360 price cut has had some effect

Nirvana_Nut85 on 28 September 2008

I'm really not impressed personally with the sales figures. The 360 should have sold alot more than what it did for the amount of the price drop. It is amusing to see some people over exagerate it it though.

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).

Thanks for your nice remarks, another one of these flamebaits and you can enjoy your 5th ban.

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?

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...

 

Blu-ray player?

Aside from being the best BR player, it also has at least 10 games that I very much want. So, again, still living in early '07?

 

 

Anyone still dreaming of life in 2011 when MAYBE PS3 could overtake 360?! [and all poor people will be playing next HD games on XBOX720...]

^_^

Take care all you!...

UmE

Let's just revive this thread next week and see where everything stands.. either the 360 keeps taking share away from the PS3 or the PS3 breaks free and catches up to the 360.

 

 ==> you know even if the Xbox360 get +20k next week, it will not look more amazing to me.

...

Let's wait.

 

The 360 doesn't have to do amazing... it just as to keep beating the PS3. Which in time could possibly mean more exclusives (timed or not), possibly a FFXIII Versus port and what ever third party exclusive the PS3 has left.

I am think Final Fantasy versus will come to the 360.

Just think about the future men... Meanwhile I live the present with the best system on the market, best on line service, best prices for hardware and software... etc. etc...

Sorry... Dead Rising is calling me for some zombie-joking... Will you ever play it?! I hope so...

Bye all!

The 360 already has a significant lead over the PS3, but somehow stretching that lead is considered bad?

Maybe my logic is flawed. Regardless of how little the 360 outsells the PS3, it is still outselling the PS3 (and reversing the PS3's ability to diminish the 360's lead)


The 360 has been on the market a year longer while fighting bad publicity (hardware defects which appear to have been remedied for the most part), cultural/preference resistance in Japan and Sony brandy loyalty in Europe.

It is simply mind boggling that some posters can still discredit the recent performance of the 360 and consider it justifiable.

Just wow...

PLEASE.....Just PLEASE don't even link Bad Publicity with 360

We know and even you know what Ps3 went through in 07 & late 06.....bad publicity wise

There was a book written on its failure in Japan for gods sake.....you can't beat that

 

 

No, that's not bad publicity. It's called research on a very interesting topic: how someone goes from total domination and landslide victory to demise.

Before you ask, I do consider Takahashi's extended article on the RROD woes research as well.

I don't think about the future - I got my xmas games lined up... that's when I get my system... and those are the games I plan to own.

1. Disgaea 3 (got it already)

2. Uncharted

3. MGS4

4. Resistance 2

5. Valkyria Chronicles

6. Eternal Sonata

7. Motorstorm 2

8. R&C ToD

9. Folklore

10. LBP

 

I just hope I'll have enough money for half of that by then... had to get a job because of that.

Enjoy Dead Rising. I'll enjoy some LBP levels, some grinding in Disgaea, the most awesome shooter of '08, and some beatiful racing, among others.
