I don't think thats why it will win the holiday ....Holiday is time for parents to buy, and they dont' know anything ....Their kid wants a console and the arcades the cheapest so they end up getting them that.....Even tho a xbox without a harddrive = Fail
so they end up with a heart broken kid.....Or 150 more for a harddrive

yeh 360 without a HDD is fail in the long run, but nice as a starter pack.plus most games don't need a hardrive to run. Christmas is also the time of impuls buys ya know;) (for me anyway:P)

Or they call Microsoft and get it for $20.
Of course
the 360 is already way ahead of the ps3
ps3 is destined to be in third place this gen
like the piece of crap that it truly is

Man are you a blind fan boy.....
The ps3 is Hugely MARKETED AS A BLU RAY PLAYER.....On commercials.....They let you know that its a blu ray player....No where does it tell me that I can call microsoft and get a 20g harddrive for 20$
In the Uk a Wii is £50 ($90) more expensive than an arcade X-box 360 and the same price as a 20Gb x-box 360.
I think the X-box will win in USA and the UK with japan being a close call.
Wins worldwide by a slim margin around 400k over the last quarter but still loses over the entire year.
I also think that the ps3 will win in europe by around 150k units over the late october to early january period.
Every store you go to ....Ps3 is promoted as a blu ray player if you go buy a hdtv a ps3 will be around the section advertising
Not ps3 game commercials those are by the game developers Im talking about commercials for the playstation it self...their arn't really any outside of japan but ...here's one in japan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ca2z7-daqo
it doesn't even advertise games....it solely advertise's blu ray ...and on the box and in the manual it says it....
Let me go check my 360 box...o it doesn't seem to tell me I can call microsoft and get 20g harddrive for 20 dollars, which is still overpriced

So you'd rather pay $700(The price in most of Europe) for a Blu Ray player with 60GB than $220(Arcade + Harddrive) for a just as good console? Seriously though, If they plan on going on LIVE, they'll need an internet connection. If they have an internet connection, they're smart enough to check up on products.
I honestly can't believe MS kept the Arcade SKU, so many consumers are gonna get screwed over by it...it's not even funny.W1NGMAN-
If consumers feel "screwed over" by it, then it is their own fault for not staying informed. I'm sure there are many people who will look at the $200 price tag and go "oh lookie!! Teh 360 iz so cheap now! I want it!" This without even knowing what they are getting in to.
Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg: We'll Outsell PS3 Worldwide This Holiday
Neah...i would have expected:
Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg: Our system sucks and the ps3 will eat it alive :lol:

Yeah, I'm surprised that M$'s employees are saying they are going to do great, lol.

Or 360 owners can do this as reported here on Gamespot:
UPDATE 2] After obtaining a Core 360 unit manufactured in 2005, GameSpot accessed the Upgrade site, which gives qualifying console owners two "limited time offers": a refurbished 20GB HDD for $19.99 bundled with a three-month Xbox Live Gold subscription, or a free 512MB Xbox 360 Memory Unit. The site heavily pushes the hard drive option, warning that merely grabbing the gratis memory unit "will not allow you to participate in some of the new Xbox 360 experiences" mentioned above. The offers are not consistent, however, as an attempt with a second Core unit (also bought in late 2005) only brought up the $20 HDD/3-month XBL option.

well not really...because with M$'s new storage solution for those with no HDD are allowing people to get a free memory card...or buy a 20 GB HDD for only $20Hes just stating the obvious.With the price-cut and the superb holiday line-up,the 360 shouldn't have any problems outselling the PS3 in any territory this holiday season.The PS3 is just too expensive for what it is and its holiday line-up isn't that great tbh.GabeNewellsPie
Yep LBP looks terrible and Killzone 2 aint gonna save em either the first was poor actually the only game they have i like is MGS4 and thats not helping em.

yeh 360 without a HDD is fail in the long run, but nice as a starter pack.plus most games don't need a hardrive to run. Christmas is also the time of impuls buys ya know;) (for me anyway:P)
360 without HDD is a fail? Really? Since MS is giving away free 512mb memory cards or $20 for 20gb... makign it a pro system, for $20... somehow, fail is not the word i'd use for that. Win for thsoe who bought it and want the free or cheap upgrade.
North America maybe, worldwide? NO chance.-Renegade
you said that last xmas :| you ever get tired of being wrong

I'm talking months, maybe a year
If he said this two months ago, I would have laughed... but after the price drop? The 360 has it on lock. Heck, if price was the only factor for buying video game consoles, it could potentially outsell the Wii this Christmas!
Funny how he says nothing about the previous NPD months when the PS3 outsold the 360 for most of the year.
MS had to do a pricecut and a $199 360 will do wonders of course.
Ninten007
Thats because when PS3 outsells 360 its by 5 consoles. When 360 outsells PS3 its by 100,000-200,000 consoles.
The price cut was looong overdue. The 360 held its price far longer then the PS3 that had 2 price cuts in its 1st year.

I agree, I mean - we're 3 years into the 360's life span. The core model has only seen a $100 price cut if you think about it. It started at $299 and now it's down to $199.
Well, to be honest, I dont know how fast consoles of last gen got to the $200 price point... but it seems like it's taken this one forever!

The PS3 has a pretty solid lineup too, but its the price that will stop most people buying a PS3.Please Log In to post.
