Well, MS is not exactly short on cash, it's just trying to put on a show for investors to justify the continuation of the Xbox brand in the face of PS3's relative failure this generation.

At this point it would take a minor miracle for PS3 to become a true set-top box threat to PC, which is one of MS' main reasons for entering the market. So the Xbox division is trying to justify its ongoing existance by making a profit for a change.

If PS3 suddenly started performing a lot better, MS would respond, don't doubt it.

As it stands, Nintendo is lucky that MS doesn't really seem too serious about competing with Wii.

Exactly, and I didnt say that the MS corporation is short of $$$, only that the gaming division seems to be given a limited budget based on what subjective sources that we are able to interpret.
