Plus, the 360 was due for another price cut. Some might say they should've had another one months ago.

Where's the US cut now?!?!? I'd probably step up to an Elite if it dropped by that much over here.
I still say Sony will drop the price in America before GTAIV or MGS4, Europe will probably be as is until Christmas. Wii hasn't been in short supply in Europe for months and months now, Nintendo could even price match the arcade and still be making profit and more sales.

Wii is sold out on Amazon again. Probably because of Easter. I agree with you though, the PS3 will get another price drop soon, it's increased in sales pretty well recently but I reckon Sony will want to really pick up the pace.

Probably before MGS4 they'll drop the price. I think right now they believe blu-ray will make the difference and price won't matter as much, but I think they'll find that they're mistaken in that approach...especially with a 360 out there that you can get for about half the PS3.

When the PS3 launched in the UK, it was £399, the 360 at this time was half price.

It hasn't made a blind bit of difference at any point in Europe, while price drops on the PS3 have pushed sales.

In Europe, there's no interest, people are waiting for the PS3 to come down in price, not for the 360 to be cheaper.

And when they launched the 360 was kicking its butt...until Sony brought down the prices.

I think that's being a bit presumptuous, but we'll see. In a lot of Europe you're probably right, but in the UK and such it'll make a difference.

Oh yeah, in the UK it'll probably put the 360 ahead, that I have no doubts of, it's the rest of Europe I'm doubting.

It's hard to compete in Europe when Sony have a near monopoly on advertising for the Champions League televised football.

Yeah, I have no doubt about that either. MS will be lucky if the price cut helps them beat PS1 sales in most of Europe, but it'll help a bit.

Quick question: Is it possible to run NTSC games on a PAL 360? cause I want Condemned 2 and they've fucking delayed it here in Europe.
