I think the fact that the consumer spent more money on the Xbox360 than on the PS3 and even the Wii is something to be proud of.
Walmart November price drop was for less than a week. And it was not a real price-drop, it came with a giftcard.
The $199 entry price stayed the same for the year. It is about keeping the sales high at one pricepoint for a year and MS did this very well.
And the MW2 bundle is even $399. So people saw value in it.
I really think some people feel like MS has to apologise for their success.

no, it is not apologize
it is just that people are comparing to last year and make some : "wow, pretty good"
while the only reason of this succeed are the MW bundle exclusive and the wallmart offer.
Also, it was not 1 week, it was 1 week on 1 month of 4 weeks .... pretty huge indeed because it add the 100k sales that make it outsold the PS3
as for the PS3, it is not a "free" success but people act like if MS get this success passively ...

even IF this is only because of walmart and MW2 bundle (as if there were no other consoles sold...) what is so bad about it? MS made the right moves to get the Xbox360 bundle and obviously Walmart made the right choice to offer this bundle with the Xbox360. That is the reason why there will be another elite-deal in december.
You can't spin this. Selling the same number of consoles without big price-drops for more than a year is awesome.

I do agree. I know what is my point and your indeed.
the big question is :
can't we consider the wallmart offer, the elite price cut, and the MW2 bundle match a big price drop ?
also, outside november, I get the impression that the 360 was performing down in YoY comparaison ... ?
|
no, the entry price stayed the same and the MW2 bundle was actually $100 more expensive than the elite. The only real price-cut was $50 on the elite bundle. This was not that big tbh.
And YoY it is SLIGHTLY down, but still good for a console in its fifth year.
