...£50 cheaper for the cheapest SKU. ...
... £45 cheaper for the top SKU. Sony don't do an official Move bundle in the EU so comparing Kinect bundles isn't really fair.
Fair to who? Sony don't do a BluRay or HDD less PS3 but you're happy to compare that to the 4GB 360. Customers are buying Kinect SKUs in large numbers so I think you have to at least acknowledge that it'll be driving prices upwards.
Here is the Amazon UK bestselling games list: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/videogames/
At the time of writing:
[08 - Xbox Live 12 Month Gold sub (33.99)]
23 - Xbox 360 250GB (£189.99)
28 - Xbox 360 250GB + Kinect (£269.99)
[43 - Kinect Sensor on its own (£99.99)]
60 - Xbox 360 4GB + Kinect (£224.99)
[62 - PS3 160 GB (189.00)]
Xbox 360 4GB vanilla doesn't even show in the top hundred. All three charting Xbox bundles are more expensive that the only PS3 on the chart. Amazon isn't the whole country but it is the largest online retailer in the UK. At the very least these figures should caution us against any comparison that pits the 4GB against the PS3 or that tries to ignore Kinect.
Edit: Added Xbox Live Membership card position just because it's amazing that MS is able to print money like this, completely unopposed from Sony or Nintendo.
