I disagree as well. $400 will be a bitter pill to swallow for the holiday shopper, especially when sitting next to $200 candy.

 

candy that has no hard drive, no wifi, no blu ray and a chance of getting you sick (rrod), yea that sounds more like a lemon head to me than sweet candy.

Do you really think the holiday shopper really knows or cares about all that other stuff? You're seriously overestimating how much the average person actually knows or about things like hard drives or system power. As far as they are concerned, they both play the games and that's all that matter.

I'm not saying it doesn't matter at all, but in the eyes of a person who never reads a gaming magazine or website, those features are close to meaningless. They will see two boxes that play nearly all the same games, one for $199 and one for $399.
