@the

a bit like the ps3 last year then... that had a major bump due to a price cut. and now its down... "duh"...

err, you're on a site called vgchartz with all the data at your hands and yet you forget about history so easily. The PS3 after the price cut OCT 2007 was still more expensive than the same price as the 360 and it was outselling it month after month since that month until the 360 got the cut on Sept04 2008. It was MORE EQUALLY expensive, see? It's not the same. The 360 is still cheaper and look at the numbers, nothing major, over 400K this year. And the 360 is not only cheaper than the PS3 this time, it's also cheaper than the Wii. Mark my words, the 360 is living the best of its days. Marked?

In all honesty it's really funny how people think that only the cheapest 360 sku is selling.  The Pro console has always been the primary seller.  The only time the Arcade sold more was directly following the price cut during the holiday months last year.
