maybe you forgotten, xbox 360 has piracy in it

ps3 don't have piracy, so i expect ps3 sales is doubling in software sales compare x360 but that is not the case

so it is great to see even with piracy xbox 360 software sales has almost the same software sales as of ps3

MGS4 launched for the PS3 a few weeks ago in 2008....that may have something to do with it

No it isn't dude. The lowest priced 360 model is $149.99 . Half the price of the lowest priced PS3.

I'm talking about the people that think when Microsoft release the Slim arcade this holiday ... not current arcades ...

Edit - I saw your updated post, what a waste of effort ;-P

Many 360 pirates I know, download leaked games (before they hit the market) and buy them if they like them.

Searching for XBOX 360 Arcade on 3 sites is effort ? lol

It was targeted at people like "Reach". Fact is, 360 Arcades are dirt cheap now...and has caused massive sales spikes along with the 360S.

How I wish I live in the US....I'd so buy a 360.

No it was targeted at me, hence why you quoted me lol.

Fact really is, that wasn't even my point in the first place ....

No, I quoted Reach first. And maybe you belong to the "people like Reach" category.

And when you said "2010 - Arcade is still $199", you are surely talking about the current Arcade model, obviously.

Because, 

a) An arcade slim hasn't been confirmed yet

b) you used present tense. If you said "the arcade slim will be $199" then there wouldn't have been a problem.

Yes there has

*sigh*, I'm saying 2010 - Arcade is still $199 as if people xpect NO price cut on it. To indicate how silly it is to say by the end of 2010 there will be a $199 arcade.

I know more about the pricing on Arcade models than you do .. where do you think I've been the last few weeks, of course the arcade isn't $199 currently.

@ Underlined, er yes it has .... for $199. I expect Microsoft are stating it's this price as to not drive away sales from the discounted elites, arcades.
