What Microsoft this last year that led to their dominance was cut prices on every one of their models during time when all their biggest competition could afford to counter with was to increase the hard drive of their most popular SKU when demand for the system at its current price had all but dried up. If any of this sounds familiar it's probably because it's exactly what's happening this year except with the roles of Sony and Microsoft reversed. Without a new price point for either of their SKUs, Microsoft has a very real chance of getting decimated this holiday season if they can't release some kind of hardware moving software that can compete with Gran Turismo 5, Final Fantasy XIII, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and Wii Fit Plus. Currently the best Microsoft has to offer is Forza Motorsport 3, but it's still pretty far away from the previous titles in that regard. |
The roles have not reveresed. Microsoft still have a mass market price console, Sony do not.
