Now MS claimed elite and 360 is selling better then ever and there is clearly not a reason for a price drop.

And sure they keep selling better then ps3 but...

ahum...


Jan NPD:
294,000

Feb NPD:
228,000 (down 22.4%)

March NPD:
199,000 (down 12.7%)

April NPD:
174,000 (down 12.6%)

May NPD:
155,000 (down 10.9%)

Doesnt these numbers look bad?

Not bad at all,I know but they keep falling...

The falling sales are probably due to the season. It' s right after christmas, and the beginning of the year is always full of bills to pay. And now the summer is coming so buying a new console now wouldn' t feel right
I' d say the sales will get slightly better after E3, the summer and then the real battle will be fought around christmas with AAA titles for all three major platforms.

It is a bit of a lull this time of year for major purchases like a console. I' m pretty sure there will be a price drop sprung October time to show a bigger financial gap with the PS3 for the xmas-present purchasing season - they should make up the loss of income from that with increased game sales.

Yeah, I bet lots of people are waiting for a price drop right now, regardless of what the manufacturers say.

Yes, I think you' re right. People are probably expecting one on or just after Halo3/GTAIV releases.

360 should have a price srop soon, but I doubt they will. Oh well, I guess Nintendo will never drop the price of the Wii, altough they should becuase of what they are selling really is 5 year old hardware. And ps3 will take forever to drop price but I do think it will be the first as sony know its too high.

Sony is going to try to be smart by dropping the price of their console once they can get component prices reduced as far as they feasibly can, hopefully (for them) before the holiday season. Then Microsoft will combat that by an albiet smaller price drop to make the 360 look just as affordable.

If MS was smart they would ramp up production and have a price drop in August right before the Halo 3 hype machine launches. I bet they' ll sell 5-10 million more Xbox 360' s by the end of the year regardless.

I still think it' s coming, regardless of what they' re saying about the Elite.

No, MS will drop the price the same amount and around the same time as Sony. Its called history: look at what happened with the PS2 and Xbox.

Hell, even my grandmother knows they' ll drop the price this Fall.

Auguest... or Sept. My bet.

Where did you think I got my numbers from? She' s a total GILF.

Want implies that I have not yet been fulfilled.

So you got what you wanted, took the bowl of hard candy and the apple pie and just left? Typical!

Hard candy is disgusting!
