That's true :) But then you end the sentence by saying that MS made a huge comeback with the price cut. There was no huge comeback since MS was already leading by 7 milllion consoles. It's Sony which needed and needs a huge comeback since it is the one playing catch up and was only leading by a small margin for the year. That is why MS could overtake it in the 2 holiday months. Even if MS didnt make a price cut, its lead still would have been 6 million, at the least. 2. Ninja Gaiden was published by MS but Ninja Gaiden Sigma still came out for the PS3. So why would anyone think that it wouldnt happen again..ermm...fanboy stupidity? Hey, I never said delusional fanboyism was exclusive to Sony console owners ;) 3. And suppose ME2 is a timed exclusive?....it still makes MS one step ahead of Sony. Remember that in the last generation it was the other way around with the PS2 getting all the goodies first and that wasn't a good thing for the Xbox. The reason I said what difference would a Sony price cut make is that since MS released their console a year earlier they have the upper hand in strategic countering of Sony's next move. Believe me, I'm not a Sony hater but I am disgusted with their handling of this console generation. They had no answer for the Wii at launch and didn't anticipate that MS would actually have a great gameplan (which ironically they adopted from Sony's last generation dominance) |
At least he uses correct numbers. The gap between the ps3 and 360 had dipped to around 5.6 million before the price cut, and assuming there had been no price cut, that gap would've only decreased over the holidays.
