How could Sony's price cut be a move of desperation ?
The PS3 was cut to a price where many of the people who wanted PS3's were able to buy PS3's , the XBOX 360 was cut to a price where people who were maybe unsure about which console they wanted , wanted to buy PS3's , had no interest in HD consoles could adopt a HD console for a minimal cost.
Sony had the higher price point and it wasn't reduced purely because the consumer didn't see it as good value for money but because it's far more than what the average customer can afford.
The XBOX 360 is already within what many people can afford for a console but there obviously isn't alot of interest in the XbOX 360 relative to it's competition ,if it is selling worst than it's already more expensive competitor.This isn't neccaserily a mvoe of desperation ( giving away 360's for free would be desperation ).

Your assumption: "The PS3 was cut to a price where many of the people who wanted PS3's were able to buy PS3's , the XBOX 360 was cut to a price where people who were maybe unsure about which console they wanted , wanted to buy PS3's , had no interest in HD consoles could adopt a HD console for a minimal cost." is flawed by your personal preference.
In other words you are saying, there is ONLY demand for the PS3, that could not be realized until a price cut. While the ONLY demand for the 360, is as a cheaper alternative to the PS3.
I wonder, do you actually believe that?
