| ChichiriMuyo said: I gotta wonder, why do people keep bringing up the 20GB model when talking about this price drop? That model was seen as inferior by unkowledgable consumers and wasn't bought for that reason alone. It wasn't the price, it was the fact that it was overshadowed by another model. |
With the XBox 360 core you have to spend an additional $50 to be able to play videogames and if you have any desire to download videos or games you have to spend the additional $100 anyways; essentially the 360 core model is truely gimped. The 20GB PS3 has no gaming limitations so was a much more valid SKU ...
If you want I'll bring up the Priemium XBox 360 then. Even in America sales for the XBox 360 have not been particularly good this year:

The market can not support a $400 system for very long, why would you expect reasonable sales on a $500 system?
