Yeah, I just barely noticed it on Tv. I am surprised these things are not flying off the shelves!

People are probably smarter than Microsoft gives them credit for.

or not given that the 360 is the most popular console in sales for 26 month straight and grows its install base lead month on month on month....

You really think this $99 Xbox 360 w/ 2 year contract is actually affecting sales? The Xbox 360 has been #1 in the US for 26 months straight because of the decline of the Wii, nothing more.

thats right... nobody has taken advantage of this deal... nobody.

I'm sure some people have fallen for it. But sales keep falling YoY. The amount of people "taking advantage" of this is very low and not large enough to negate the end of gen decline in sales.

wtf? lol. 

Of course they are falling year on year, isnt that natural in its 8th year?   You expect them to remain flat or increase?

You have no idea how popular this... but they continue with it so there is clearly demand.

A console going from $250 to $99 overnight would dramatically increase sales. When this "deal" was made available we saw little to no effect. In fact 360 sales are down YOY the same if not more than the PS3 in the US aren't they?

If this $99 Xbox 360 had any noticable effect we would see it in the sales. If you have proof that it did have any effect on sales, I'd love to see some proof.

Sony continues to sell 3G Vitas despite there being little to no demand for it. So just because they continue to sell something, it doesn't mean there is demand for it. This $99 Xbox w/ 2 year contract isn't hurting them so they have no reason to discontinue it. Besides, it makes for great TV ads. We won't see any $199 PS3 Tv ads, ever.
