Is Microsoft fearful or is Sony desparate?
Another holiday of Microsoft beating Sony will probably be the demise of the PS3 chances getting to second or top place this generation.
Microsoft can afford to "follow the rythm" right now because they are in a better position at this time then they probably thought they would be this generation (I thought 360 would be in last by now with a loyal following, instead it is second and the only console showing overall year over year growth). Sony, is definately in a worse position then they thought they would be (year over year shrinkage and third place in the generation). Sony is only trying to spur sales because they know that if they don't they are destined to last place.
It is a game of corporate chess and we consumers are the pawns.
