It doesn't matter if the 360 was available for $199 or not. If you dropped the Arcade as a SKU entirely the 360 still outsold the PS3 with the $299 SKUs alone. You can't say that the PS3 is too expensive when you have a console which feature wise has even less going for it which is outselling the PS3 at a like for like price.

OHHH EDIT: I see what the problem is now, you've completely misunderstood the thread, we're talking about WORLDWIDE sales and your clearly only talking about the US, the 360 hasn't out sold the ps3 any week for the eniter holdiday 2:1, and your saying it would do it without the 199 sku lol. was really scratching my head as to where you were getting your numbers from.

oh and I'd still like to see where you get the break down of what the 199 sku and the 299 sku has sold seperatly becasue until then out of your a** will not be acceptable as a reliable source, sorry again.

" we believe that Microsoft's average price for an Xbox 360 sold in November was around $290,"

Also the Kinect 360 is the same price as the PS3 in Europe.

The main difference has always and will always be demand. In Europe the PS3 has always been more desired at any price, Japan significantly so and in America the Xbox 360 is the same price effectively but significantly outsells the PS3. What I have been saying all along is that Sony are capable of raising demand without cutting the price substantially if at all because I believe that they have it in them.



Tease.
