Overall, before reading ur post (héhé, I already know the artechnia article ...)
I just want to say the 2 parameters that are making suffering MS the most (as I have said many time) :
- They are not able to use their lower entry price (arcade) to get the casual crowd since the Wii is just too much appealing for them.
At the end, they are STILL competiting for the hardcore crowd despite the xbox360 being on the market since 3 years !!
- hardcore crowd want games and the only thing MS can offer is :
some multiplateform games u can still play on PS3 (next time, get GTA4 100% exclusive to you!!!)
some PC games that hardcore prefer play ... on PC !!
some nich RPG games
(Now, let's read ur post).
EDIT : well, nice read, thx.
libellule, waiting for the last MS' weapon : price cut in NA ...
Is the 200$ arcade able to significately boost the Xbox360 sales for more than 1 month ?

From what I know the Arcade makes up 10%-20% of all 360 sales. Lets say that this week the Arcade made up 15% of sales (the $299 Pro effect is still visible). 15% of 60 k is 9k. If after reaching the $199 sweet price point Arcade sales double, there will be 20k Arcades sold each week, which is a 11k boost. I don't think the Arcade is capable of significantely boosting sales. Maybe the Pro, but not the Arcade.
