I didnt mention other markets because sales were poor/mediocre outside of US/UK and we dont have annual UK sales before 2011.

Black Friday discounts & bundles is a valid point but without the S model & Kinect their affect would have been much weaker and we would have continued to see further declines to sales that began in 2009.

More HDD however isnt very relevant because they had increased storage space on the original model every year.

We disagree on why it sold so well late in life. Obviously both S model (with price cuts) and kinect had an impact but I think the price cuts (and games of course) would have kept it from being down YoY regardless.

More HDD definitely was a price cut though. PRO to Elite to S

Xbox Pro $399 60 gb (2008) to XBOX Elite $399 250gb (2009) and then XBOX S $299 250gb (2010) with the option of $399 320gb special editions.

First was a 190gb upgrade and then a full $100 price cut with the launch of the XBOX S.

Increased storage adds value but it's not a price cut. And even if consumers perceived them the same than 2009 should have sold more than 2008 if price was such a factor.

You are missing the 120gb model in 2009 at $299.

2009

512mb-$199

120gb-$299

2010 S model

4gb-$199

250gb-$299
