Without Price Cut "PS3 Will Outsell Xbox 360"
The PS3 price cut rolled out on August 22 led to a sales surge of over 400 percent in Australia during the week following its introduction.
That's according to NPD Group Australia sales data gathered from national retailers and happily passed along by Sony.
Sony Computer Entertainment Australia MD Michael Ephraim said: "This new price point really represents fantastic value for money as PlayStation 3 delivers full HD games, Blu-ray capability, plus music, movies, catch-up TV and more on demand.
"Australians love not only games, but also the quality home entertainment PS3 provides. Sales are booming because PlayStation 3 is the best device to connect to your TV, at incredible value, to provide the ultimate home entertainment experience."
UK PS3 sales reportedly jumped 65 percent during the week following the price cut.
Microsoft, to date, has insisted there are no plans to reduce the price of the 360 in the near future.

Old the only reason they jumped is because when ps3 had a jail break in its security system.
everyone sold their ps3's to re-assure it wouldn't happen again.
ever since the price drop they've gone back to sony in hopes of them having a better security.

People that already have Xbox most likely aren't going to switch over after already owning the console. Same with Ps3 users. It happens but its not that popular.
What will happen is the kids that don't have a xbox or ps3 and come christmas time will be wanting a console. The parents might choose the cheaper one or the one the kid wants. If he has friends with a xbox he most likely will get a xbox. Same for Ps3. But Kinect is also directed at younger kids so as a younger kid Kinect looks really cool and that is where MS takes the lead because they have a better bundle that appeals to the people actually buying the console.
This is all my opinion
