No surprises here as this was leaked several weeks ago by the ArsMole. 360 Pro is gone with Elite moving down in price to sell at same price as current Pro model.

This isn't all that shocking either, but it does show that Activision was doing little more than trying to bluff their way into a price cut for the PS3. There's no way on God's green Earth that they're leaving the PS3 as a publisher when they're making $152 million in revenue. That's more than they made on the Wii which has a much larger base..

EA reports Wii revenue leading the pack ($161M) followed by PS3 ($121M) and the 360 coming in third ($76M). Another clear indicator that the complaints about the PS3 by publishers are mainly motivated by the fact that they realize that they could see a substantial increase in revenue with a PS3 price cut.
