Microsoft's mission statement this gen is to specifically sell more units than the PS3. Microsoft's success, as stated, revolves around the failure of Sony with no exception.
If MS has to give their consoles away for free, they will do it if it makes them sell more units than the PS3. I'm very serious when I say this.
I could see this happening in Japan. There, people don't want a 360 unless they really have to. The Japanese view of the 360 = American view of the PS3. Plain and simple.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
