I think the statement is a cover up. I think they are more scared of what the PS3 will do in 2009 than the economy. As the cheapest console on the market the economy can only help X360 sales.....rite? Look how its performing now.

I can't tell if you're serious or not, but LOL either way.

 

Oh im serious. People are still wanting and going to buy games/consoles so why would the cheapest console on the market be scared of the economy. Anything cheap sells better in such times, again look at sales now.

 

Even if you were right and Microsoft was scared of the PS3, why would Microsoft cut costs in response? If anything they'd have larger costs in order to keep competitive.

It seems fanciful to see any relationship between these statements and the PS3.
