Seeing as some 50% of holiday 2009's 360 sales were Arcades, the majority disagrees with you. Not everyone who wants a 360 is ultra-hardcore, you know. Of course the 360 costs less than the Wii. It has since September. Which goes to show that price isn't the only thing that matters.

As for the PSP Go, we'll see about that. Don't forget it has a 16GB flash card and a bundled game (or in America's case, a bundled DEMO for a game).

i don't think the arcade is profitable, but the elite is probably. We already know the PS3 isn't profitable, Sony already admitted it.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

ps3 and 360........... same price........... $299 and yes im late, but isnt sony and microsoft still losing money. 

Oh snappyz, they are so close to the ps3 price range

Your post is confusing.

PS3 price = XBOX 360 ELITE price. It is not the same...

The 360 Arcade is still less than 200 Euros...

 

In fact, here in Belgium, you can find the following :

- PS3 slim : 299 €

- XBOX 360 Elite : 249 €

- XBOX 360 Arcade : 179 €

 

There is still some Elite bundle for 304 € with Halo 3 , Pgr4 and Gears of War

That's a badass bundle... is the box as badass as the bundle?

Acutally, without the Arcade, I believe, that we could have :

Xbox360 2009 sales = PS3 2009 sales

PS3 Xmas 2008 sales = Xbox360 Xmas 2008 sales

In france, arcade was somthing like 139 euros !!!!



Time to Work !

Where does anyone say the arcade accounts for 50% of sales?

it's a theory based off of alot of us that work at retail and what we saw in sales patterns... it's not def, but it probably pretty close the the real thing

No
