"The Xbox 360 Elite is selling well, and market research is indicating a high proportion of those buying it are people who don't already own an original Xbox 360. That's according to Neil Thompson, senior regional director for the UK and Ireland at Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices division, who spoke exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz."

Hardware makers are learning consumers will pay a premium just to get a device in black. The elite also fixed MSFT's mistake in releasing the original Xbox 360 in beige (I think it was supposed to be white, but by then white was no longer "in").
The HDMI is also becoming more important for people with newer HDTVs. Finally, the premium version of consoles seems to sell best anyways--I think gamers don't want to feel they are missing out on any features and would rather feel safe and pay the extra money.[ Guru ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 219 ]bids

I've grown used to my whisper quiet Wii and I'm quite annoyed by the vacuum-cleaner-level sounds I hear out of my friend's 360. Plus I'd rather wait and be sure to avoid the Red Ring of Death.
