Is MS drying up supply before a re-launch?

How long will a new SKU prop up the 360? There's been.. what? Three skus of the 360, which is less than what the PS3 had and its in last place and its not like they can tout the hd dvd player anymore.

1. Where the hell did you get 5 SKUs from?  There's the Core/Arcade (which are EXACTLY the same except that Arcade comes with a memory card and some XBLA games), the Pro (20-gig) system, and the Elite (120-gig) system.  Maybe you're counting the Halo 3 edition, which is a Pro console with a custom skin?  Or the Pro bundle that has Marvel and Forza with it?  If that's the case, then Ps3 has had at least 7 SKUs, and PS2 has had at least 30.

2. They never touted the HD-DVD player.  If they were touting it, they would have had it built-in.  What they did was say 'hey, it's there if you want it.'

3. If 360 is in last place, then where does that leave the PS3, which is 6.85 million consoles behind?

1. there are actualy 7 SKUs total. The current core/pro/elite with HDMI and the core/pro/elite without and the Halo 3 SKU.  Now the Opus SKU will takeover repairs of all cor/pro/elite SKU no matter if they have an HDMI port or not.  Jasper will be installed in all upcoming consoles followed by it's repacement Valhalla.  Opus, Jasper and Valhalla wont really be considered new SKUs jsut figured I would point them out.

3. Fixed your number to VgChartz's number.
