What the hell has Microsoft done that makes the Xbox 360 up so much YOY in America when they were coming off a massive price drop last year but not this year?

• Netflix?
• Movies on Demand?
• Live FM?
• Something else?

because it did have a price cut..??

Price cut was in 2008, this is 2010 vs 2009.

It probably wouldn't account for all the difference, but I wonder how much effect the current/recent retailer discounts are having.  The Arcade was at $169 in a few instances, etc.  The Arcade is $189, no tax, no shipping, with a free wireless controller thrown in, on Amazon right now, in fact.

Also, 360 is a little down in others YoY, but I doubt it was a matter of allocating to one location or another, as I don't think they're selling out in Others.

Healthy sales all around.  And they say casual (App Store, Facebook, Solitaire) games are killing consoles.
