You did everything, but answer my question. Do you have a 360?

Yes i do have a PS3 and a Wii and i had a 360.

I came to that conclusion because almost EVERYONE that post on system wars either had or have a 360. Come on man, it wasnt that hard to figuer out.

This is the stupidest post I have ever read in my entire 6 years on Gamespot.

"You did everything, but answer my question. Do you have a 360?"

Because its useless info that does nothing to help prove your point..But ok, yeah..I have a 360... "OH noez everyone must own one that wants one now" Guess what? People change their minds, people who have a 360 today may not have wanted one 3 years ago when it launched.

"I came to that conclusion because almost EVERYONE that post on system wars either had or have a 360. Come on man, it wasnt that hard to figuer out."

Because a few hundred forumites are representative of a millions of people. Not only do you not have any way to prove what your saying but what your saying is paradoxical in that, go to a Wii forum or Playstation forum and one could make the same argument in their favor, which will be wrong like you are in this case. Do me a favor and stop posting, I wouldn't want know you personally, I can only imagine the prejudice mentality you probably have.

[QUOTE="Tykain"]It wont make a huge difference. It will sell more than ps3 in the US for a month or 2 at best. Casuals will still get the WII and hardcore gamers will still go for their favorite console regardless of the price.slim_jimmy21
hardcore gamers already own their system of choice. its all about price now to allow multi systems in homes so brothers wont kill each other over play time.

That's a good point, but the sales will only increase temporarily. In the long run it wont make a difference, Sony will drop the price of the ps3 too at some point and they will get a temporarily sales increase too, so it even out.

All PS3 has to do is drop their 80 gb SKU to $299 if it affects sales. It may not be the "sweet spot" of $199, but it would make the Pro look like a rip-off at the same price point.

why are people not using common sense, the price was never the problem . the 199 360 is going to sell theres no doubting that but only for a while. look at the eu, the 360 is basically 150 there and its still being outsold by the ps3. face it consumers like the wii and the ps3 more. i don't know why maybe its because the 360 left a bad taste in everyones mouth. and sony could easily drop as well

You make zero since at all. This topic has nothing to do with 3 years ago. This topic is related to 2008, nothing more or less. I see the you are stuck in the 360 glory days, but its kool.

also, by you having a 360 just proved one of my points. when it come to the 360, its either you HAVE one or you HAD one. The same for the PS3, the Wii, and any other gaming systems.

But its ok, at lease you tired.

The price cut isnt going to do anything for the 360. Most of you guys are forgetting that nearly everyone has or have had a 360 and most of the people would have had a 360 would "never" buy another one.

Bottom line, its hard to sell something to someone if they already have it. The 360 is nothing like the PS2. The PS2 has games for everyone. The 360 doesnt.

Just like anyone who is going to get a PS2 already has a PS2 right?

uh, te 360 outsold the ps3 by over 2.5 million from sept oct nov dec of 07...check npd

And the PS3 outsold 360 by 1.5 million worldwide in 2007...with less games and a higher price point...so I suppose Halo didn't "wup sony's arse."

What future upswing? It's about darn time that MS dropped their prices. Only $50 after 2 years and a half? That's brutal. This will cause a spike in the sales, but maintaining it is another story which I am not convinced will happen.

Also, the ironic part of this thread is that we're talking about sales after some MS fanboys have used the "You can't play sales" card :)

The price drops have been in effect in Europe since about May or June, and they really arent doing a whole lot to help the system out. If this has an effect at all, it will only be in the USA, and even then, the 360:PS3 hardware differences wont even be close to the size they were in 2007.

with the price point of 199.99 reached and 299.99 for the 60 gig and a healthy price point for the elite model at 399.99+ the release of rock band 2+ fable 2 and gears of war 2 ....oh yeah also the holiday bundles!!

we will also see much much fewer rrod with the jasper units, it is like microsoft finally realized how it could just wup sony's arse and still make a decent profit in the meanwhile
