You have to imagine that the presumed new market "casual" consumers are the ones who haven't bought the 360 yet en masse, so the $150 price doesn't matter to that market. It's the $300 that matters. And it will probably be marketed to them as a Wii HD, thus giving reason for the $100 premium.

There are a few fundamental flaws with the argument I guess
a) After 4 years on the market, the arcade unit has gotten a bad rep for most people. Its near impossible to enjoy the 360 without a harddrive, between patches, DLC and demoes.
b) The HD upgrade. People assume that everyone else wants shiny graphics, but most normal semi-gamers just won't care for the diff between SD and HD. Hell most people can hardly hook up HD properly.
c) We don't know if it comes with software, though I assume it will come with that ball game they are always showing off.
