1. no I'm not, I'm just not congratulating nor am I shocked it did roughly the same as it did last year

2. Jesus Christ man do you know what happens to a console when it's official price drops lower than $199, there's literally a similarity between every console, do you not know what that is....

3. a bundle and or/including a deal in almost EVERY major territory on the biggest game of the year that have only gotten bigger...EVERY YEAR,  during the holiday no less. really? how low did you guys think it was going to do??? 10k... 11k??? honest question

You really don't get it do you. The 360 has been at $199 for many years now, past what is normally a peak for a console (actually way past it) so for it to be almost flat in its 6th year (3rd year at the same price) and to not have the buzz of Kinect launch, yes, that is amazing. I know exactly what happens to a console when it goes $199. Do you know what normally happens to a console 3 years AFTER it's gone $199? obviously not seen as you're not surprised by its sales.

Yes it truly is amazing. And for half of consumers (just guessing) the console is $300, for them a HD-less console is not an option. And these guys know very well that there's not been a drop in years while they've seen the PS3 go from $400 to only $250 in the same time. And yet they choose the X360. I always hated the argument of "look, the 360 is only $200" when most gamers want the version that still costs $300.

Also let's not forget that there's a market demand for $149 consoles too or else the Wii hadn't dropped to that price and all those consoles in the last gen wouldn't have dropped to $149 (or even less).
