Geeez a lot of folks on this site are super sensitive, and what does it matter if the ps3 beats the 360 by 20 or so thousand for the next 3 years, if they don't catch up. Sony drowning the company trying to catch the 360. At Skeezer, It's funny because the wii is kickin both in the azz.

ummm.... actually, that would be M$ drowning the company to beat Sony. $6.5 billion loss? Now that my friend, is insanity. Especially considering this price drop will really cut into the meager amount of dough M$ has been making on the Xbox in recent months. Also, what does the Wii have to do with this discussion?

 

 

Sony did that to win the format war I would think. Trying to "catch" the 360 would be pretty pathetic I would think, and chopping off $100 off of its base pricing isn't what I would call trying to drown your company.

I'll say it again, I don't think Sony really cares about Microsoft that much. They don't really need to since its pretty much inevitable that they will outsell the 360. Its nothing to celebrate, the 360 really doesn't sell well at all and I'm fairly sure that the PS3 has sold more this YTD than any Microsoft console ever has. (Is this true?)
