I'm not going to read all four pages but there are some definite cases of reading comprehension issues on the first page. When Microsoft

"He tells Edge Online that Microsoft is planning on its console competition becoming more price competitive in 2009. Not really his call, obviously, but failing to plan means planning to fail, right?"

All they're saying is that they expect the PS3's price to drop and thus become more competitive. They're not saying that they'll drop their price again if Sony drops the PS3's price. They are not saying that at all.

Huh? What exactly are Microsoft planning then? We plan that our competitors will drop their price and our plan is to sit here with our thumb up our ass?

You're right they're not saying that, but what they are saying is that they're planning their retaliation to said move from Sony, which could be either a price cut of their own or adding value to the current skus.  Regardless of what it is, they are announcing that they will have a move ready for such a moment.  They are attacking them psychologically to scare them out of making a move.
