Only 3k higher than the Wii now. Looks like that even at $400, it still can't keep up.

Cheap price alone isn't going to make it sell forever. I'm sure it'll do better once the good games come out...

As long as they are close, I dont care. I want them both to be sucesful... This stops Nintendo from being so up their own a**s and forces them into trying harder, but it still keeps them high enough up the charts that we dont see another SEGA.

Remember that none of the Final Fantasy games came out yet. The PS3 sales will skyrock by then.

Thats just not good business sense. I dont doubt Sony mind losing more money on each system mad, but I doubt they'd take two hits in Q4 alone.

Worked for the PSP. Which is doing really well right now considering its shaky start.

Supposedly one of its price cut dates is scheduled around spring time, near the release of MGS4.

I hate to say it but somehow, Sony does not deserve to be# 1 this genwith the way they present PS3 and its price. I mean they have dropped the price a lot of time and created different kinds of versions that are almost par with the versions of X360. As much as a lot fo hardcore gamers feels that Wii is destroying gaming, it is actually saving gaming by keeping it mainstream. I know hardcore gamers want graphics with high end technology, but If it does not suit the budget of a casual and perhaps potential gamers (non-gamers), the video games will go crashing down. The Wii sales and PS3 sales proved this point. Remember, hardcore gamers only contain a small fraction of the overall gamers, it is still casuals who takes the largest pie in the video game market.

In fairness, the PSP is doing well for a starter handheld but in competition, of course it got beaten.

At times its outsells the PS3 and PS2.

Plus its not dead which so many predicted it would be.

And its got a good library of games. How is that not doing well? Yeah the DS has beaten it in sales but Pepsi isn't going away just because Coke does better. You can still make money and not be # 1.

The PS3 definitely doesn't diserve to be in first in Japan, it's overpriced and has no great games that the xbox cannot offer. But hey, the Japanese are biased against american products, so microsoft loses in that respect.

Here we go again, another Japanese and American bashing thread. Seriously, without the Wii, the X360 could have penetrated Japan andbecome # 1 in the video game market.

It is called culture differences, not liking each other is a myth, you are so uneducated, Japan, Asia in general and europe don't like shooters much, that's why it is losing, accept the fact and deal with it, don't whine about it and don't be racist.

If you are not happy with 360 sales, relax and play some Mass flop.
