PS2 costed 299$ from march 2000 till may 2002.
GC was released at 199$ price in autumn 2001. Then price was reduced till 149$ in may 2002.
Guess, who won previous gen war? =))
PRICE cuts DOESN`T matter, when price get a mass market level. That level is 249-299$. Looks like, x360 just went to that level, if sales won`t reach Wii level, then x360 definitely destinated/doomed to 3rd place.
It`s more like M$ checks are good enough. =)))
Since, in Japan jrpgs won`t sell on x360 much, neither in rest world will. I mean look at FF killer LO, it sold less then 300k WW compared to 5-8 mln. of FF. =]
To outsell ps3 in Europe, x360 need 100% boost, not 20%. =))
20%? Sad.. very sad things are then for M$. =)
I wonder, will they even make money on x360 after pricecut or will start losing them again? =]
This will make a war a little longer, then it meant to be. =))
But after FFXIII, GT5, MGS4, KZ2, LBP and etc releases, price won`t matter anymore. :)
Anyway, it will be interesting how thing will go on. =)
p.s. sorry, can`t remember any exclusive x360 game, which is going to be released in near future, and make price of x360 to look negligible.
all who wanted to play gears of war, already bought x360, so geow 2 won`t have effect.
NG2 was neve...
Bring it ON! =)

Well, site one.lt from my country is on 103 place in alexa.com and i can assure you, that MOST people(98%) in our country don`t use alexa toolbar. However, one.lt is VERY popular in our country(over 500k ankets). And that is shown on alexa.com =)
Just because some developers doesn`t use proper BD in MULTIPLATFORM games, that doesn`t make BD slow.
For what PS3 exclusive games Blu-ray disc is SLOW???
===================
blu-ray disc are slow? That is a BULLSHIT.
2x Blu-ray Drive (72Mbps(9MB/s))
Single Layer (2x CLV) - Constant Linear Velocity (Same speed across entire disk)
Double Layer - Couldn't find any data but no games have been released on a double layer yet.
...
1 mln. MGS4 FIRST day - CONFIRMED!
500k PS3 during MGS4 launch week - CONFIRMED!
PS3 FTW! =)
p.s. need bubbles, lost them for stating FACTS.

Looks like x360 premium was not so much futureproof. =)
Anyway, 20GB for 299$ and 60GB for 349$ would be pretty GOOD move. =)
Get a life, don`t bother writting here, if you have nothing (NOT childish) to say.
GT5 FTW!
PS3 FTW! =)
THAT is how NEXTGEN is meant to look like. :)

I mean from average 40-45k to 80-90k? =)) LOL.
Sony don`t even need a pricecut, PS3 STILL will outsell x360 in Europe. =)
It`s POINTLESS, 2008 - is a PS3 year. THE END. =)

EDIT: Thnx. =)
Just regained one, that was fast. :) One more left.
@lukewind,
PLAY Uncharted,
PLAY Ratchet,
PLAY GT5P,
otherwise, you won`t understand what NEXTGEN experience means.
"BRD's are slower when it comes to throughput."
Are you dumb? Just because some developers doesn`t use proper BD in MULTIPLATFORM games, that doesn`t make BD slow.

I just HATE, when people BULLSHITTING like YOU do.
"t's not mon...
then just say ONE reason,
WHAT makes YOU think, THAT Kojima used/filled Blu-ray disc with some "for video and repeating the data multiple times in order to speed up search and load times", BUT not with GREAT ingame STUFF???

MGS4 is a PS3 game.
True nextgen experience.
You don`t have any other games to care? Why so much arguing about port?
Yes, MGS4 is a masterpiece, but ONLY on PS3 you will be able to get FULL experience, NOT anywhere else. Stop it people, LET it GO.
Mistwalker games get rushed, unfinished, and you get what you get, while FFXIII, will be released when it`s done and POLISHED. That the main problem here. Releasing games for the Christmas, not when they are finished, won`t bring nothing good, but only average projects.
and then he can create whatever he wants. =))
