If you followed the financial markets you would not be making such out of whack suggestions..
Microsoft missed the analysts target last quarter and lowered expectations for the next quarters. As a result the stock tanked a bit following those announcements.
They are in no position to make further moves that would either diminish revenue or profit ( dropping price affects both..). Dropping the price by 100$ if you sell 10 million consoles a year is a billion $ hit on revenue, even for a company like Microsoft that is not an easy to number to make up elsewhere.........
And guess who are some of the biggest individual stock holders of Microsoft. The people that make the decision and run the company. They are not going to push forward things that greatly reduce their personal net value........( insiders holds 13.1% of the company )
PS : they missed earnings by only a couple hundred millions dollars and the company lost 8% of its valuation..
PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !
PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
