PDF, I understand your point, but I'm referring to the present, and future, and the 360 price is alredy very very cheap for the mass.

Now have MS more margin for other price cuts compared to Sony ?   The answer is not.    From now on, it will be the whole value and the game experience of the console to make the difference.   MS will lower the price ? 50$ less ? Sony have the margin to do the same.   This is my point.

Now, I don't want that some people get me wrong, and I'll say the truth, 360 is a very good console; but when I read crap like the one above, well, I have to answer.

Sony has the margin to cut the price.  They have always had that.  They dont have the money to do so.  If the 360 cuts the price sony cannot answer back for sometime.

The difference between the two companies is whats important to them.  Of course they both want the same things.  Market share and money.  Sony however is a bit more focused on money than MS and MS is a bit more focused on market share than sony.  

Sports analogy time:  Sony just scored but the ball is now in MS court.   Will they score?  I think yes, you think sony has to good of defense and to much momentum now.  Im fine with that.  Just dont think the game is over like i did back in 07.

Well, I never said the game is over, though I believe PS3 will do better from now on.

There is a point where the whole value/package of a console(performance, hardware, the format(outdated or going MAINSTREAM), games, new features, new innovations, more contents, the ratio between this whole value and price, clearly out run the price alone.  This is the point where PS3 is, going to improve from now on!  This is my opinion, and I never said 360 is doomed, or whatever...
