MS said in an interview in MARCH that they were ready for a PS3 price drop.........so they ARE ready
PS3 demand is higher? yeah right, explain it selling less than anything else week after week
Facebook = 200 Million + people on it
@spartan fx
xbox 360 outsold ps3 by 3 million units last xmas I believe

Okay, fine.
1) Yes, they did say that. How do you know what they have planned is going to be any more effective?
2) PS3 demand is clearly higher, because the PS3 has always been more expensive than the 360, and yet through holiday 2007 and most of 2008, it was selling better. Not to mention the 360 outsells the PS3 by around 15k a week despite having half the entry price. In a recession.
3) Facebook has loads of people. You've been able to go on Facebook with the PS3 pretty much since launch. As well as the rest of the internet.
4) It depends what you define "Christmas" as. Presumably, it finishes when the year ends, when does it start? Let's say mid November.

So around 2 million. You really expect it to replicate the effects of a price cut that made it half the price of the competition, as compared to one that will make it marginally cheaper? They are not going to cut the price of the Elite by $100 ($150?), that is just ridiculous. The Slim and PS3 price cut are pretty much confirmed, we have no hard evidence for any Microsoft plans, other than an ambiguous statement in March.
Happy?

Why are out to get this thread locked? There is nowhere where I have insulted a console, its only SMASHED who's on a rant to prove xbox 360 = inferior & Ps3 = future
DEMAND = sales
Xbox 360 has sold more.......hence people want it more
Facebook for 360 will be ADVERTISED, people will think you can't go on it on Ps3 if its not advertise (remember we are talking about dumb consumers who don't research but see adverts & buy)
@smashed
so what if things in PS3 are superior, the GAMES AREN'T

See, this is why I didn't want to get into a debate.
I am out to get this thread locked because your conclusion is absurd, your reasons for that conclusion are more absurd, and most importantly, it's written in a manner clearly intended to rile people up. Therefore, it is trolling.
Demand is not sales. Demand is how much consumers want something. They will not necessarily buy that thing. There is lots of demand for Ferraris. A lot of people would buy a Ferrari if it was cheap enough. But they can't afford it, or aren't willing to spend that amount of money on a car. That is what is happening here. It's been proven that, at the same price, the PS3 will sell better. The 360 usually has a price advantage, which is why it will probably come in 2nd this generation.
Nobody wants a 360 for Facebook. That's just dumb. "Hey look Tyler, this awesome console has Gears of War and Halo and *etc*"
"Yeah, Jimmy, but I don't think we should get one"
"Hey look Tyler it has Facebook!"
"Holy shit, we need one now!"
Do you see that happening? Really?
