XBox 360 vs PS3: the numbers of Microsoft and Sony's answer

"Microsoft announced record figures about XBox 360, but Sony responds and, in fact, the refutes."

Microsoft has reported record figures for the sale of XBox 360 in November. "The data shows Gfk overtaking on the PlayStation 3 in the entire continent and with percentages very significant especially in Italy, France and Spain, where the console Sony has been consistently exceeded week after week," reads the press release from Microsoft.

Sony has responded immediately to these figures with a talk by David Reeves, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, in an interview granted to MCV: "In the PAL territories can boast a number of consoles sold excess of 300 thousand units compared with XBox 360" .

The alleged price reduction of PlayStation 3, Reeves is expressed thus: "When we entered for the first time in we started from scratch. At that time we had a business model that privileges the flexibility in terms of view prices. When we were able to contain production costs of the first PlayStation, we reduced the price to the public, and this is the case with PlayStation 2. But do not use this business model with PlayStation 3, even if people if he waits. "

"But do not use this business model with PlayStation 3, even if people if they expect"

What if then take:ohyeah:

These are really outside ... that is, we are saying that even if the price of the PS3 production is lower and so they will earn, we always sell customers the same price? DECLARED practically a scam.
