Ps3 for a 299 price vs a 199 price xbox 360 i think ps3 is doing damn great 100 dollar difference is a lot of money i mean the same games mostly and still people chosing the most expensive console in terms of system not as a whole

Why do people keep saying that?  The $299 PS3 is the lead SKU for the console.  The $299 Elite 360 is the lead SKU for that console.  The $199 Arcade is not, even though the advertising pushes it (when people buy it, they want the HDD AND the holiday bundle is on the Elite).  Its a fact that the PS3 is outselling the 360 right now.  The race is closer than ever (and more telling than ever) because the lead SKU for each console is the same price.

Then why do most reports claim the 360 arcade is the unit that sells the most?

What reports claim this?  When the average price leaks for each sale from NPD it is clear that during the non-holiday season the Arcade is about 1/3rd of the 360 sales.  Last year during the holiday months that increased to about 50% in December.  I dont think that will happen this year since the Elite is the only SKU being bundled with games and most retailers are pushing deals on the Elite and not really marketing the Arcade.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
