I've put together the prices of all 3 consoles since launch and there price drops i've always wanted to see the price's on hand as i always forget the price in different regions it will also become use full a few years down the road wen people are wondering why the console sales fluctuated the way they did almost like a time line. I also never seen them all 3 posted at once before so that's why i created it i will also update it wen ever there are new drops and bundles. BHR-3 was the 1st to create this on Nov 25 2008 source before recreating it in the sales section and only here can you see future price drops and bundle info
I'll fix any errors just refer to the area rather than quote me you can also post if u find this info useful or just like what you see or have any info thats not included.
Would be cool if someone could do this for all console gens going way back to the 80's i would do it but i don't have the brain power and i think it would be irrelevant since vgchartz or anyone doesn't have much info on previous console sales so we can't see past gen console sale fluctuation

Arcade sku replaced the Core it includes everything the Core has but came with a wireless controller, 1 month xbox gold trail, HDMI output, 256 MB memory card, newer Jasper models come with 256MB internal memory rather than the card released 9/08, and 5 Xbox Live Arcade titles Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2 Pac-ManChamp Edition and Uno on 1 disk b/c could not be accessed w/o an HDD later models did not include the 5 free demos
Pro sku includes everything the Core has but came with a wireless controller, 1 month xbox gold trail, wired headset, hybrid composite and component cable with optional optical out instead of a composite cable 360 Pro also includes a detachable 20g HDD to store downloaded content, provide compatibility with original Xbox games, and store game data the included hard drive comes with game demos video clips and a free Live Arcade game Hexic HD in July 07 the Pro version of the 360 began appearing with the Zephyr motherboard the motherboard used in the Elite which features HDMI 1.2 output no cables though and an improved GPU heat sink output end of Sept 07 the newest systems came with the new Falcon motherboard it includes the new 65-nm CPUs making them quieter and cooler than before On Aug 1 08 the 20g Pro was discontinued and was replaced by a 60g for the same price
Elite sku includes a detachable 120g HDD and a flat black finish the Elite includes an HDMI cable (as of August 2009 Elite will not have HDMI cables) , hybrid composite and component cable, Digital/Analogue audio dongle, and a wireless controller and wired headset that match the console's black finish 3X USB ports, 1 month xbox gold trail, 2X memory card ports, 100Mbit Ethernet port and cable, add on WiFi sold separate early Elite models shipped using the Zephyr motherboard though newer models now use the Falcon 65nm chipset instead these Elites (and other Xbox 360 models using the Falcon) can be identified from earlier versions by a re-designed power connector and a power supply that runs at 175w the motherboard layout is also different. As of August 2009 Elites do not include HDMI cable or hybrid component only composite
360S The Xbox 360 S features redesigned internal architecture with the rumored Valhalla motherboard, which allows for around 30% more space than previous motherboards and the XCGPU, an integrated CPU/GPU/eDRAM chip using a 45nm fabrication process . This allows it to be both smaller and quieter than the previous versions of the Xbox 360. It includes a custom removable internal 250gb HDD 5 usb ports and a custom USB port for use with peripherals such as the Kinect sensor. It also features integrated 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Ethernet port, and a TOSLINK S/PDIF optical audio connector, allowing for digital audio and wireless networking without the need for an external adapter. The Xbox 360 Memory Unit slots have been removed in favor of the USB flash drive solution added in a system software update on April 6, 2010 . The power and DVD drive eject 'buttons' are touch sensitive rather than physical buttons. The 250 GB internal hard drive is swappable though not compatible with other models of Xbox 360, and is not simply a standard hard drive. The finish of the casing as well as parts the controller shipped with the console has also been changed from its standard matte to a glossy finish. Includes only component cable, power brick has shrunk still external, wired head set,1 controller, Ethernet cable and 1 month xbox gold trail

PS3 20g* was the first to launch in NA and JP along side the 60g it features a slot-loading 2x speed Blu ray drive for games, Blu-ray movies, DVDs, CDs, and other optical media. The 20g came with a 20g HDD, sixaxis controller, 4X usb ports, Digital Audio(optical) X1, HDMI output, composite AV cables, wired Ethernet, Ethernet cable, and a usb cable to charge the controller. The 20g also had the Emotion Engine hardware built into it meaning it's like having a ps2 inside ur ps3 for backwards compatibility
PS3 60g* was the first to launch in NA and JP along side the 20g it features a slot-loading 2x speed Blu ray drive for games, Blu-ray movies, DVDs, CDs, and other optical media. The 60g came with a 60g HDD, sixaxis controller, 4X usb ports, Digital Audio(optical) X1, HDMI output, composite AV cables, wired and wireless Ethernet, Ethernet cable, a usb cable to charge the controller, and had a hidden door that revealed flash card readers consisting of a Memory Stick, SD/MMC, and a Compact Flash/Microdrive media. The 60g also had the Emotion Engine hardware built into it meaning it's like having a ps2 inside ur ps3 for backwards compatibility
PS3 80g^ replaced the the 60g* in NA only it was not offered in the other regions it was available with the game Motorstorm at first for the holiday 07 bundle then later got discontinued, what ever left overs sony had they got rereleased with the MGS4 bundle. The 80g came with a 80g HDD, sixaxis controller, 4X usb ports, Digital Audio(optical) X1, HDMI output, composite AV cables, wired and wireless Ethernet, Ethernet cable, a usb cable to charge the controller, and had a hidden door that revealed flash card readers consisting of a Memory Stick, SD/MMC, and a Compact Flash/Microdrive media. The 80g had software emulation built into it meaning it wasn't as good as the NA, JP 60g* for backwards compatibility but it did have b/c and got better with software updates over time
PS3 40g the 40g replaced the 20g model was available in all regions and at one point it was the only model that was offered. The 40g came with a 40g HDD, sixaxis controller, 2X usb ports, Digital Audio(optical) X1, HDMI output, composite AV cables, wired and wireless Ethernet, Ethernet cable, and a usb cable to charge the controller. The 40g had no form of backwards compatibility or the hidden door with the memory card readers. It also got a smaller and more efficient cell chip the move from 90nm to 65nm was made, but the RSX graphics chip remained the same 90nm. It also has the fan test feature witch makes the PS3 fan turn on in a high rate of speed acting like a self cleaning mechanism and can be seen in action here. While there is a way to do this on the 80g^, 60g*^, and 20g by making it over heat i think it's dangerous for your PS3 but it can be seen in action here
PS3 80g the 80g replaced the 40g it was exactly the same as the 40g except for the HDD size, came with a DS3 rather than the sixaxis, and came with no Ethernet cable it also was available in all regions. RSX graphics chip finally reduced to 65nm from 90nm on later models in Autumn 2008 Cell chip remained 65nm
PS3 160g the 160g was also the same as the 80g except for the HDD size, DS3 inclusion, and came with no Ethernet cable it came in forms of bundles
PS3 60g^ was first to launch in EU it is only available in EU it features a slot-loading 2x speed Blu ray drive for games, Blu-ray movies, DVDs, CDs, and other optical media. The 60g came with a 60g HDD, sixaxis controller, 4X usb ports, Digital Audio(optical) X1, HDMI output, composite AV cables, wired and wireless Ethernet, Ethernet cable, and had a hidden door that revealed flash card readers consisting of a Memory Stick, SD/MMC, and a Compact Flash/Microdrive media. The 60g had software emulation built into it meaning it wasn't as good as the NA, JP 60g* for backwards compatibility but it did have b/c and got better with software updates over time
PS3 Slim 120g Sony officially announced the Playstation 3 Slim on August 18, 2009. It will feature a 120GB hard drive and is 33% smaller, 36% lighter, and consumes 34% less power than the old model. The new PS3 system will focus on delivering games and other entertainment content thus removing the feature to install other Operating Systems to the new PS3 system. Sony has made some enhancements under the hood to boost its processing speed and power efficiency. The gaming console will carry an upgraded version of the Cell microprocessor, which is being jointly developed by IBM, Sony, and Toshiba. The new chip has been manufactured using an advanced 45-nanometer manufacturing process. Based on IBM's Power architecture, the chip delivers many performance improvements while drawing less power than earlier chips and, the RSX graphics chip has been reduced to 45nm also. Slim comes with the same features that the 160g and 80g before it meaning 2 usbs ports, no backwards compatibility, one DS3 controller, composite AV cables, mini usb cable, and no Ethernet cable
PS3 Slim 250g Same as 120gb except HDD size

Wii includes the console, a stand to allow the console to be placed vertically which includes a clear circular stabilizer, one Wii Remote, one Nunchuck attachment, one Sensor Bar, a removable stand for the bar, one external main power adapter, two AA batteries, one composite AV cable with RCA connectors, and a copy of Wii Sports (except in Japan). The Wii has a slot-loading optical media drive that accepts both 12 cm Wii optical discs & 8 cm GameCube discs, 4 Nintendo GameCube controller ports, and 2 Nintendo GameCube Memory Card slots. 2 USB ports which are located at its rear, an accessory port on bottom of Wii Remote for the Wii's controller expansions, an SD card slot which hides behind the cover on the front of the console, and a WiFi connection, but no Ethernet port (adapter sold separately).
NOTE PS3 and 360 Discontinued dates are unknown only MS and Sony would know the exact dates they got discontinued i've dated them with dates that announce newer hardware versions that replaced existing hardware as that's when sales would fluctuate in anticipation for the new hardware version and discontinued version price drop
