Microsoft drops price of Xbox 360 in Asia

I'm not even too certain the Wii has entered those markets yet. I mean, hell, South Korea got DS for the first time in January of last year.

PS3 outsells 360 consisently in every region excluding NA. and even in NA, its been outselling 360 for the past few months. even with the European 360 price drop which doubled sales, PS3 still outsold it in that region.

who cares about Wii sales, it doesnt compete directly with PS3 and 360 as Wii is more of a casual console designed for non-gamers/casuals.

They can outsell it all they want, outselling a console 11 to 10 is not going to get you over a year lead.

It's tricky to really gauge the PS3's sales victory over the 360. Even if the PS3 outsells the 360, you have no way of telling how many of these consoles are being snapped up as slightly cheaper Blu-Ray players and which are being snapped up to play games.
Software sales are also promiscuous to trust as not everyone buys games very frequently and many people will buy more than one game, rather than most people buying just one console.

Also, the 360 has held it's own against the PS3 for nearly two years, despite the 360 being on sale much longer than the PS3 had in quite a few regions. The last bastion, being America, where even now, the 360's head is still struggling to surface. Any future price cuts in America may place the 360 ahead of the PS3 once more. We just don't know and can't tell.

(Disclaimer: I took a neutral stand-point on this comment. I am neither a fanboy of the 360 nor PS3. Although if it helps you discredit me, I own a 360 and Wii, not a PS3 as of yet.)

Don't you think you people have the console cheap enough as it is? Come and enjoy the wonders of shopping in Europe for a few weeks. You wont enjoy it.

The wii is on the same market, because some will buy a wii instead of a 360 or PS3. Not everyone can afford two consoles.

The argument about it being aimed at casual gamers is moot because many hardcore games also play casual games. Parties, bus rides, etc. So really, the markets do cross in this case.

Of couse it's not competing against Sony and MS...

when you have a product the sells 6 to 1, there's not competition as you already own the market.

There's always one piece of the pie in statistical charts "Other Brands" and that where they are. They only console selling at Nintendo level is the PSp, but it sells because of that DarkAlex guy and his hacking.

My point is simply that the Wii's market crosses over into the hardcore and also does well there.
