If Microsoft matches Sony price cut, would the PS3 still do "gangbusters"?

well 99$ gamecube didn't help nintendo overtake ps2.

sony still have to play it big game card, and many price cuts even if 360 gets one.

there is going to be a point 360 can't cut put more. or doing so won't do much

problem was that the Gamecube just didnt have many appealing games.. which was one of the reasons I traded mine in for other stuff

game are multiplatform, sony at the end of this gen will have a huge catalog of first party  exclusives way bigger than microsoft.

thats the thing. and  360 feeling pressure may means things like xbox live free ;)

As it stands the Xbox 360 has a far larger library of AAA titles than the PS3, and just as many likely AAA titles on the horizon.  Sony's first and second party hasn't actually produced that many AAA titles so far, and with the exceptions of GoW3, Uncharted 2 and GT5, there are aren't really on the horizon likely to obtain this status. 

As Microsoft has a larger and faster growing userbase, it is also far easier for them to convince third parties to make exclusives, and far easier for them to make the money necessary to invest in more games and make price cuts.
