But Holiday 07 was directly following the PS3 price cuts and at that point it was like literally the cheapest and best Blu-Ray player so a lot of people got it as mostly for that during that time period.

Next fall is when MS will strike with it's price maneuvers.

The PS3 software shipments really don't support the bolded statement in any way.
Also, I don't think Microsoft will give Natal away. They have too much money invested in it.

Actually the software shipments do pretty much support it. That's why it maintains such a lower Tie ratio despite good software sales.
And Natal isn't being given away for free, per say. It's being included with every 360 instead of having a price drop. And then anyone else will have to buy it for however much it will cost.

Tie Ratio
PS3 7.9
360 8.1

That is comparing the most recent quarter of Sony's to the 360 ratio of 9 months ago....

Also I don't mean to say millions of people just use the PS3 for Blu-Ray, but I bet several hundred thousand to a million did purchase it for that back in the 2007 price cut time. It was plastered on every tech site as the best price/performance blu-ray player.
