Wouldn't the fact that you can't get a PS3 or a Wii right now in many areas also add to 360 sales?

 

Edit: Not by my logic, but by Mr. Stickball's logic of competition between consoles. People want the console they want.

Edit2: Smeags, that pile looks like they are moving so fast they can't be rearranged to look nice and neat.

Exactly.

Not only that, but consumers want the exact SKU at the price they are willing to pay.

Example: many consumers won't buy what they perceive as a stripped down 360 in the Arcade SKU at $279, but they will jump at the opportunity to buy a 20GB Pro SKU for a mere $20 more.

Consumers will not buy a PS3, if the only SKU they can find at retail is the MGS4 Bundle at $499, when A) They have no interest in MGS4, and B) they want a PS3 at $399 or less.
