OMG a new model and price drop and it sells wel initially who would have thunk it !!!!

The PS2 slim sales spiked as well when it first came out. The Elite is coming down to $299 to replace the pro model so when that happens the 360 will be back to having all skus being at least $100 cheaper than the PS3.


Elite 360 - 299

120gig ps3 slim - 299...

299 - 299 = 100... wat?

So the price drop helped sales on the first day? DUH!

Yeah..also....With the Price cut...Sony losses even more on each PS3...How many Slim will they have to sell to even out the 299/399 models?

You sir, make a lot of sense.

Man, I have two Engineering degrees and I just learned something new.

$299 PS3 - $299 XBox = $100

YAY Math!

Need to track long-term what will happen here. You do get an early boost of sales from announcements like this.

Wow judging from this thread, it appears that i underestimated what the price cut would do.  I think its totally possible for the PS3 to do 400-500k for its first price drop week.  Unless MS does something drastic then the PS3 is gonna destroy the fuck out the gap between the two.
