I found a link saying the arcade will NOT be phased out and an arcade slim is on the way, I will edit post when i find it again.

Good good.


Just go to gamespot, theyre the ones with the story. Arcade is not being phased out. The names are though, there's no more Arcade or Elite technically, just different models of 360 distingushed by storage size.

 

Gamespot link confirming Slim Arcade here http://e3.gamespot.com/story/6265465/new-200-xbox-360-planned-elite-and-arcade-getting-50-price-cut

 

Anyways I think the new Slim completely means PS3 can never, ever overtake 360 in the USA. The math is just impossible now, considering this basically means 360 will win every remaining month of 2010 USA sales (They should win may easily based on PS3 shortages, June easily on price cuts to the old SKU's, the rest of the year on Slim momentum and Halo Reach). At that point 360 will be something like 8 million or more units ahead in USA, so PS3 would have to outsell by average of 200k a month for 40 months just to tie, sometime in 2014. Never going to happen.
