In response to the OP, let's be serious... Sony had been consistently outselling the XBOX 360 worldwide this year and, while the 360 was doing good sales, it needed a price-cut to trump Sony in sales. Did this hinder the PS3's sales? No, it's still selling significantly better than it was last year, even with the $200 base price difference between arcade and 80GB units. What has this done for the 360? Wedged itself into a position where now to maintain interest they're going to have to work harder on the gaming front as they can't/won't sacrifice another price drop for a long time, whereas Sony has plenty of room to move consoles by lowering its price AND third-party companies (EVEN VALVE) are starting to show confidence and interest in the PS3. Sony flopped this year? Strong system sales and software sales beg to differ. Nevertheless, congratulations on your success, Microsoft. The gap is closing, slowly but surely.
All you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be.
