Yea, it may be selling great, but does anybody remember that week in september when the slim ps3 came out and it topped 1 million.  Need I say more?

Yes, this was accompanied by a $100 price cut, but I think that while a lot of the sales we are seeing for 360 are the slim, a huge # are also people buying the consoles that are now only $149 and $249, which will be gone soon.  Next week, sales will likely remain high, then they will once again drop below ps3 sales worldwide.

I honestly think releasing a new arcade for $199 was a mistake when they lowered current to $149.  It is almost like giving out a price cut and then taking it back.

Actually it was in 3, you probably didn't remember
