It's not meant to boost sales, just keep them sustained. If they can do what they did last holiday season then they're doing great.

I mean, in four years X360 only has dropped $100 (from $299 to $199 and $399 to $299), while PS3 in only three years has dropped $300 - from $599 to $299.

The Elite was $480 at launch in the US, so that's a drop of $180.

 

 

But people don't perceive like it dropped $180. Console buying people are thinking 'how much is the HHD equipped good X360?" And since the Elite is replacing the 60GB, the price is kept at $299 - the HDD equipped X360 SKU has only become $100 cheaper for the consumer in four years (same with the Basic/Arcade SKU)
