I was always in Favour of the Pro being the new arcade and the Elite the new Pro. That said the Elite becoming the Pro continues to offer choice to consumer which I think has been one of Microsofts selling points. Also dropping down to 2 SKUs is good for business and makes selling a lot easier simpler for the consumer to understand. Of course they still need to understand why one needs a hard drive and one does not.
Depending on what Sony do I still expect Microsoft to not maybe match it but certainly give it a run for the money with some movement downward on price possible focusing in Europe.
With sales being depressed for much of the year it will interesting to see how much both Sony and Microsoft can tempt the Xmas buying public.
