....And Microsoft has already said that Core purchase rates (vs. Elite and Prems) are on the rise.
MS made the right move with the core - not everyone NEEDS a huge hard drive. Like Shark said, MS has stated multiple times that 60-70% were online. That leaves 30-40% of owners without online. So what % actually need over 512mb of save space? Some might, but not everyone.
And again, I'll always have my antecdoal info when I was @ launch: parents were buying cores for thier kids, not premiums. Parents that buy systems don't care about specs, they care about price. The core has a much better price....Therefore, it's very important for holidays.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
