Price cut and ww GT5 release and they will kill MS. At 299 PS3 will spank 360 in sales especially if the crap arcade 360 sku is continued.

Though they really need a huge hardware mover and GT5 is that, K2 GOW3 FF13/Verus could pull it of though i doubt all those can achieve what alone GT5 can.

And if Microsoft likewise matches, then what? 

 

MS stockholders will panic, and MS will be fondly remembered as "the place that gave us XBox 360 for practically free".

 

Look at the financial reports. One of Sony and Microsoft had a 0.1% profit margin in their gaming division in the last quarter, on top of having three products with declining sales, even though only the other one had price cuts. And of course, only one of them is predicting to have a huge loss in the ongoing quarter due to problems in their core business.

If any stockholders are about to panic, it's not Microsoft's.

 

 

M$ stock went down as well. Sony stockholders will panic more doesn't mean M$ stockholders will be free from panic.
