I did see the Arcade get cheaper in the catalogue today.<br><br>BUT is this enough? The reasons for this are obvious. No one is buying 360's. there now the slowest selling. Even worse than the PS3 even though it was FAR more expensive and still is slightly more expensive. <br><br>Wii + PS3 seem to have this gen no matter how many reasonable price drops M$ do. wii sales could get INSANE over the next few years. with the market share they have, iv got like 40 year old's telling me about Wii sports at my high school. lol.
