OK without wanting to take this thread off topic this was exactly what I was referring to when I said what you are suggesting has no bearing on whether something is overpriced. If something sells more it does not mean the thing that sells less should be cheaper. That's not how supply and demand works, it doesn't take over the cost of the actual product.

For example if I started selling a gold bar as a paperweight it does not mean I should price it the same as somebody selling a steel paperweight even though its extrinsic value for some users may be the same. by all means you can question the strategy of the person or company selling the gold bar as a paperweight but you cannot call them overpriced or uncompetitive. Hope you catch my drift.

If you added the HD-DVD player, the wifi adaptor, Card reader, comparable HDD size to the launch 360 (not to mention actual BC for old Xbox 1) you would see it rocket to far above even $799 yet alone $599. Overpricing something and a marketing strategy are two different things.
