In these financial times, Sony is better off playing it safe. Who cares what MS does, all they do is loose billions and I see no reason for Sony to be dragged into that same path. With sales dropping off everything, both off them should look at profitability instead of poking each others eyes out all the time.
As always we are going to be looking at a holiday season with minor differences between 360 and PS3 anyway, with the Wii owning them both hard. I do expect Sony to have better figures with the new PSP 3000 and the PS2 then lasts years. As far as MS goes, they may or may not outsell the PS3, but loose a lot of money in the proces and have to deal with ever growing piracy figures on their console. The fact that the PS3 has not yet been hacked, in combination with console gaming (and in effect console modding) is ever growing, is slowly getting more desastrous for the 360. That fact that people can easily play warez on Live with a stealthpatch is even more concerning. Warezgames are even being released on 360 way before the PC which is a very concerning trend.
Anyhow, Wii will win.
