PS3 outsells Xbox 360 and Wii

Pfft, it's just Slim launch hype If an Xbox Slim were to be released, exactly the same thing would happen. Huge sales in the beginning, and then they'd slowly even out/wane out over time.

I wonder if Microsoft was expecting this hype over the slimline? You would have expected them to counter this somehow - although i have seen many pricecuts around for the xbox.

I think there may be some ultimate reliance on Project Natal. Though Christmas is on our doorsteps and Microsoft may need to pull a rabbit out of a hat to gain the upper hand between now and January.

As if nobody saw it coming.

The Xbox is still a great console, and I love it to bits, but the PS3 is currently a no brainer as the value buy. The Xbox will need to retail at sub-R3k level to be even close to competitive again.

Such as R2499?

It would be interesting to see how well the new PS3 Slim is doing in the local market.
Seems like the Slim is really making an impact.

I doubt it's doing well in SA, the consumer buying is down, like really down and thats even after all our interest rate drops. Not many people wanting to fork out for lux items like a console.

So lets do a survey and find out how many people bought the slim.. Cause it went out of stock fast when it got released.

I think R2999 should do for the Elite in SA.
The only thing the Xbox 360 Arcade doesn't have on it's big brother is a hard drive, an ethernet cable, a headset and 50ml of black paint, so R2200-R2400 odd for an Arcade seems fair.

But what do I know... I digress.
