We disagree on why it sold so well late in life. Obviously both S model (with price cuts) and kinect had an impact but I think the price cuts (and games of course) would have kept it from being down YoY regardless.

More HDD definitely was a price cut though. PRO to Elite to S

Xbox Pro $399 60 gb (2008) to XBOX Elite $399 250gb (2009) and then XBOX S $299 250gb (2010) with the option of $399 320gb special editions.

First was a 190gb upgrade and then a full $100 price cut with the launch of the XBOX S.

Increased storage adds value but it's not a price cut. And even if consumers perceived them the same than 2009 should have sold more than 2008 if price was such a factor.

You are missing the 120gb model in 2009 at $299.

2009

512mb-$199

120gb-$299

2010 S model

4gb-$199

250gb-$299

Regardless the S model was a price cut, and even more so in other markets.

2009

512mb- $199

120gb- US$299.99, C$299.99, £199.99, €299.99 ¥29,800, A$549.00

250gb- US$399.99, C$399.99, £249.99, €329.99, A$599.00

2010 S model

4gb- $199

250 gb- US$299.99, C$299.99, £199.99, €249.99,A$449.00, NZ$499.00

When comparing just 250gbs, $100 price cut US and Canada, £50 price cut, €80 price cut, and A$ 150 price cut.

When comparing 120gb and 250 gb, €50 price cut, and A$ 100 price cut.
