Heh, that's why sometimes you just have to close your eyes when you read some comments. The X360 is doing better, not PS3 doing much worse. Last year it had Slim, this Year X360 has Slim and Kinect (no Move came out earlier and isn't "really" popular or pushing hardware). And I don't want to say something because I'll get banned but, let's see what happens in late January =D just for the fun and the meltdowns. Inb4 Bu bu but... :p

Last year the PS3 had a redesign AND a $100 price cut. This year 360 had a redesign and Kinect. What's the difference? 360, with a $150 optional add-on pushed more consoles this holiday than a PS3 that was $100 cheaper last holiday. So its not as simple a comparison as just slim-to-slim.
|
Last year 360 also had a price cut. People seem to be forgetting this.
|
the price cut was in 08,
|
It was actually in 09. Shortly after the PS price cut.
|
that was a clearance sale of the old arcades not a permeant cut.
there has not been a real cut since the cut of fall 08
|
There was a price cut on the the elite sku last year:

In Europe its' price was cut by 50€, btw.
|
they just changed sku offerings, they eliminated the real elite the new one came with they same stuff the old pro did just a larger hard drive and new color. and killed off the old elite reserving the even larger hard drive, and hdmi cable for special editions.
the new elite may be called elite, but its just a pro. no real price drop.
the bottom stayed 199. the middle stayed 299 and the top now only special editions/kinect is 399….. wait does this mean special edition kinect versions will be 499? or will they hold that off till the next real price cut …
also this is all based on USA they could have dropped prices in europe i really don't know
|
At that point there was no kinect edition. The most expensive SKU saw a drop in price even in the US - $299 was the most expensive one that point (I think it was at $349 before that).
Edit: Oh well it seems to have been a $100 one then.
