PS3 is still selling healthily for it's price point and you'll find it's probably still generating more revenue than the 360 is despite the sales differences.

More revenue, yes, but that's just because it sells for a higher price. More profits, no.

I said "revenue" for a very specific reason ( and it's not exactly clear how much profit MS is making of their cut price 360's so you can't really talk about profits of hardware) . You have to have a more desirable product to generate more revenue with less units sold , it's as simple as that.

no... just a more expensive one.

Exactly what I tried to tell him, but he was clueless. A system selling 91k units at an average price of $420 (with the 160gb model sales), would give revenue of 38.2M. A system selling 190k units at an average $260 (with a majority of arcade model sales) would give revenue of 49.4M. Even if every console was the Arcade model revenue = 38M, which obviously won't be the case. So I guess Sony takes less revenue AND less units sold, thus the entire argument you had is gone.

Note I said "probably" I wasn't aware of how wide the sales gap between the two were , I don't think it's been this big for a while.
