In the same period it was noticed that GameCube sales have increased by 5% in the same period, with a 9000 increase in units shifted; whilst Xbox figures were considered too low to even begin worrying about.<br><br>It’s been widely speculated that Sony will reduce the Playstation2 to $99 at some point in 2004; a figure that is only likely to boost sales during a period of natural decline and place further pressure on Microsoft to bring the Xbox below the $100 figure.<br><br>We’ll have more news on the situation as we get it.

This is their peak because of MGS4, Halo 3 did the same thing but in much larger numbers. 360 has a sick holiday lineup and they will cut the price by a hundred bucks. Then theres the new Xbox Live with Netflix and possibly a FREE Xbox Live by then. Resistance isn't enough to stop it.
