Said it before and again:
Xbox 360 + No Price Cut + Six Years Old + Half a Million Sales + Before Black Friday = AMAZING!
|
you know I've never understood this "no price cut" stuff
when the ps3 outsold the 360 being $100-200 more, that's a impressive sales considering the price difference
but the 360 is currently one of, if not the least expensive console on the market and have been so since 2008, and has been at the mass market price point longer than any console this gen, ps3 JUST went below 300 dollars and it still isn't 199, but the 360 has been there since 08 and that's was *counts on fingers* 3 years ago (when the cheapest ps3 was $400)

The thing is though since the ps3 pricecut, in the only place we get average console price data, from the npd, the 360 is selling at a higher average price then the ps3 despite being a year older and having a console priced at supposed "mass market" price, which as it turns out is selling much worse then the other skus considering Npd revealed the average 360 was selling for around 280$ in America in September. Idk if they revealed the average price in october.

That's in the US. And it was only for the month of the price cut. I believe that month also saw gears of war 3 bundles which were priced at $400.

I cleary said in America and the majority of 360 sales are in America. Goforgold clearly was trying to point out the $200 360 version as proof that 360s are selling for super cheap, when reality is since the ps3 pricecut 360s have been the most expencive console to customers in the only place we can firmly say so, the United States. I don't think we get average console prices for any other regions. The gears of war bundle is indeed a 360 that people were willing to pay $400 for. I don't see what that has to do with anything. Last month and for the rest of the holidays the 360 has three new skus priced at $300 and up that it didn't have in september so that average price is only going to increase other then in black friday when all consoles will have significantly lower average prices.
