PS3 holds all the aces up its sleeve.

That is definitely correct, but the 360 is still going to be around longer.  And he didn't contradict himself, MS just updated their plan.

 

Theres no point in withdrawing the Xbox 360 from the market if the PS3 is still in the game. Hell, as soon as the first next gen console arrives both the PS3 and Xbox 360 are going to look equally obsolete.

 

 

and this is just a wrong statement.  the ps2 was still selling strong well into the next gen of consoles.  we all know we can't say the same for the original xbox.  sony has vowed to do the same thing with the ps3, and microsoft has given us no reason to believe they won't.   that is another reason i justified buying the more expensive console.  if you compare the cost with the systems lifecycle, the ps3 will assuredly end up being cheaper per year than its counterpart.  this is even more obvious when the cost of xbox live is factored into it.
