I don't want to get back to that discussion
I didn't start as you know.
Does the current situation in sales mirror your expectations of what would happen in this Christmas?
The 360 now has a cheaper entry pricing than I anticipated ( at 135 Euro) and the PS3 I expected to sell for 349 dollars this christmas. So the 360 relative to the PS3 will perform a little better than I previously expected. |
That's a specific retailer discount that is not universal.
You can't claim that is the entry pricing, because it isn't. That same chain, MediaMarket, has it at 169€ in Spain - just as an example.

I wouldn't be too sure.
Maybe it's due to some glitch in the exchange rates, but around here the standard price for an standard bundle Arcade is 138 Euro pretty much countrywide.

I live in Spain and I was at a MediaMarket two days ago. So yes, I am pretty sure.

South Africa is further away from Europe, wouldn't you agree? so surely it should be more expensive there but it isn't for some reason. It certainly isn't manufactured there and is the PAL version, so it's imported from Europe I'm sure.
Sony hardware and the Wii are not as lucky but the price from my link is pretty mch countrywide give or take 5%
here is another link from another etailer pretty much the same price, a little cheaper though.
