ha ha, when sony doing price cut, MS just do the same, it is easier for MS to do the cut, sony start with high promises, high cost design, bad firmware design, no tools etc
unless :
sony try to replace the blu - ray with dvd (x), it is impossible
sony try to remove wifi (x), it is impossible
sony try to reduce the cost of cell (x) impossible, it is more costly to produce than xbox 360 3 core PPU
sony try to remove the hdd (x), it is impossible they don't have mechanism on O/S or firmware to do that, they need HDD to perform what they offer, like linux or browser, Xbox already focus what is important, it is about gaming, no hdd then it is OK.
sony try to added wht make xbl good, i bet after 4 year, they keep updating firmware, but it is just too complex, they want to add featuers , but at the same time they want to reduce memory footprint, so just like home, they just keep mention new features, but nothing is happen actually, and actually new error keep surfaces
and so on
