I just realized that the 360 slim still sell for $299. I thought it was cheaper but it's not. I have to wonder what exactly is responsible for the boost. is it the slim 360 or the $149 arcade, or maybe both.
|
well..... the slim is selling out all over... so....
|
the discounted units have a big hand in it too
|
The slim is definitely the biggest reason though since you can still find normal elites and arcades pretty much everywhere (and MS stopped shipping non-slim 360's quite a while ago)
|
no it was not.
and even though MS didn't stop shipping them.they stopped making them.if they had an inventry.they would still ship them
and the Arcade and Elite were and still available and so was why the price cut was made as they were abundantly available,if they were scare,MS wouldn't have cut the price
|
Ummm yes it was.
no
MS cut the price of the old elites and arcades to get rid of the rest of the stock that was at stores.
MS could still have some left in the factory.if the only store ones were to be remianing then before the SLIM launch we would have seen 360 shortages which we didn't
Face it the $299 slim 360 was the biggest reason why the 360 sold so much last week.
LMAO
are you forcing something here
without giving enough evidence you say "FACE IT"...............haha

I'm sorry but there's just WAY more evidence pointing to the 360 slim as being the biggest reason for the 360 selling so well.
1. Look at how Japan 360's sold. Out of the 17k 360's sold last week about 15k of them were slims, and the old arcade and elite models got discounted yet still only sold a bare minimum (about 2k) You can bet that America had about the same ratios as Japan.
2. The old 360 models are still in abundance in America, and you know MS stopped production for those models around E3 (otherwise they wouldn't be trying to phase them out)
3. The Slim 360's were (and still are for the most part) in HUGE demand for America, pre-orders were backed up and finding a slim console was quite a chore if you didn't pre-order iot before.
4. Do you seriously think MS shipped less then 80k slim consoles when they KNEW the demand was going to be extremely high for them. Bets are they shipped well over 120k slim 360's
I know you don't like hearing that a $299 360 was the main reason why the 360 hardware was so high but it is what it is....you just gotta live with it.
