Microsoft should just drop Xbox 360 to $199 and soar past PS3 and end it!

To the company it's not how many systems are sold, but how much money is made. So, why would they just throw out money after they are starting to make a profit?

Tell that to Sony...there hasn't been a machine they did not sell for a loss at lauch.

 

yeh i can see how carrying about what customers think may be a bad thing......

 

LOL. First of all, no one is saying its a bad thing...I'm just arguing his point that companies "shouldn't" lose money.

Second of all, that strategy worked for Sony with PS1 because they had deeper pockets than competition and with PS2 because they were first to the scene. But for PS3 they have yet to see the fruits of their labour...

And lastly, they are not doing it because they "care" about the customers and what they think...they are doing it to cripple the competition and then get even bigger marketshare.
