Not to pick sides in this mess but... PS3 SKUs:
60GB - $600 (Now $450)
- Full BC with upscailing required, no rumble.
20GB - $500 (Now $300-$350)
- Full BC with upscailing required, no rumble, no Wi-Fi, various things missing.
80GB - $500
- Limited BC with upscailing required, no rumble.
40GB - $400
- No PS2 BC, still no rumble, but rumble controllers are available seperately (I think?).
Upcomming 120-180GB (which ever it will be) - $???
- ????
360 SKUs:
Core - $300
- Its a core unit 360. (Is a stripped down 360)
Standard - $400
- Its a standard 360. (Is a regulard 360)
Elite - $500
- Its an elite 360. (Has more stuff than regular 360)
Now which do you think is offering the most consumer confusion? |
Ummm. There's way more for the 360 than that buddy. Try the HDMI-equipped ones and the Falcon, and the two new motherboard or whatever... (someone clarify... lazy) |
Very true. However these aren't presented to the consumer as choices, they're merely modifactions in the production of pre-existing SKUs. And while yes, very confusing, they're something the average consumer will really have no knowledge of. |
And you think most people even remember that the 20gb ps3 existed?
Neither the 20gb nor the 60gb ps3s are presented to the consumer as choices. You walk into a store, and you see the 40gb ps3. That's it. There won't even be any more 80gb ps3s until the MGS4 bundle hits. For the 360, you see Arcades (which you left out of your original list), Premiums, Elites, and even some Halo editions still lying around.
Both companies have botched things this generation when it comes to SKUs.
