About the WW market (since some Xbox360 supporters begin to talk about the WW market) :

My own guess for this Xmas :


If Wii is sold out, then Xbox360 > PS3 SIGNIFICAITVELY

If Wii not sold out, then PS3 > xbox360 but VERY CLOSE

hmm are you basing that statement while considering the financial crisis?

 

well, sure, xbox360 is cheaper, sure. But it was also cheaper before the price cut !

But, you know :

- u can say PS3 is better deal than xbox360 because u have a BR player AND a good console for a competing price

- u can say PS2 is just cheaper than the xbox360 and so it will steal the sales from the arcade sku.

- u can say Wii is more expensive than xbox360 but it is still selling like hot cake, just like before the xbox360 price cut

Last year was also supposed to be all about recession, and finally, sales were stellar ...



Time to Work !

MS need to get as many last remnant bundles out there as possible. Ignore 20k, i think they need to have as near to 100k of these bundles as possible. Putting together the following:

- "proper" SE game
- great marketing
- hopefully good reviews this time

They should land a massive blow on Sony by making full use of this timed exclusive. Get as many Japanese gamers buying it now on the 360 as possible by offering a shed load of bundles and you will decrease the number of people who will buy it on the ps3 / need to buy a ps3.

They will have had near 2 months to get supply sorted. I am aware that in the big picture 100k is not really an awful lot of consoles but in the smaller picture that is the 360 improving upon the Xbox in Japan it would be massive. Anything to make the 360 a viable platform in Japan is a success in my eyes.

 agreed!

Even 150k bundles won't hurt.
