Thread title should be "how the hell is PS3 almost keeping up with 360 at twice the price?"

Then it should also read:

"how is the PS3 losing by 30k per week to a console that sells most commonly at $300/$400, even with the more, "better" exclusives on PS3?"

Since about 45% of the 360's sales are arcade models.  The other 55% is Pro/Elite at $300/$400.  Could be closer to 50/50 now, but regardless, half of those sales are not the cheap $200 price point, so PS3 lovers can not ignore the higher priced SKU sales and think that it is always a $200 gap.

I sense a bit of condradiction here. Saying $200/$300 should be about 90% of X360 sales then 

Plus there's a PS3 sku being sold at $500 so...

$200/300 most probably does account for about 90% of 360 sales.  But $300/400 are grouped together as the "non-cheap, actually has a hard drive, non gimped models" so that's why I grouped them this way and they still have the majority of sales.

Oh and that PS3 SKU was only a holiday bundle.  If you have $500 PS3's still floating around they must have really sold awfully at your retailer over the holidays.
