...Europe again?....if you remember, despite a higher price and late launch, the PS3 had passed the 360 in Europe... then after MS made the agressive price cuts last year, it passed the PS3 and is now about 1.4 million ahead.

Do you think a PS3 slim with a price cut plus GT5 would be enough for the PS3 to reclaim the lead over the 360 in the territory?...how fast would you guess?...you think it´d be powerful enough to resist even another 360 price cut?

Easily. Europe have a blind loyalty for Playstaion brand name.

Yes.

Easily.

I would say that's a silly question.

If all of this happens before Christmas, I can see Sony passing MS in Europe by the end of their fiscal year (March).

Put it this way....

If the 360 were a person, and the PS3 were a person...

Well after a PS3 price drop PS3 would essentially rape the 360...

And the 360 would have a VERY sore ass afterwords.

Europe. It would do kill the 360 in the US as well. A fat $500 PS3 with MGS4 could and so would a $300 slim PS3 with GT5.

Those two statements seem to prove you have mis-read the data.

The PS3 did pass the X360in Europe, but as you can see here.... the X360 is only 320k ahead now:

For "Total Others" the current gap has X360 1.4 million ahead... but going by that region the PS3 never passed the X360 in the first place, the nearest it got was still over 450k away.

Even a 50$ price drop alone would probably do it for Europe...

Since the 360 is now about half the price of the PS3 in Europe and only outselling it by <10K a week, I should think a price cut and GT5 is easily enough for the PS3 to pass the 360.

I would think it would happen by the end of the year (going by twroo's numbers).
