Microsoft: on PS3s recent sales surge "We expect it to be short-term and we expect them to be back down to third place soon like they’ve always been.”

ms knows they have been beat down and will be forced to stay down.

A far inferior product wont win when the price difference is close, unless a $99 360 is in the pipe line.

If the 360 should be $99, does that mean the Wii should be $9? What is so inferior about the 360? Only thing you can point to is the Blue-Ray drive. Please don't bring up graphics and power since anyone not blinded by fanboyism can see both are equally matched. You may think the PS3 has better visuals but I along with many others think they are pretty even.

I would love for my 360 to have games looking as good as Uncharted 2(or KillZone 2 and soon God of War 3 for that sake) while doing the same things, but that's just not the case and I'd be deluted if I tried to claim otherwise.

But luckily I do not suffer from an inferiority complex and can live with the fact that the graphical gap for exclusive has gotten quite big and continues to grow, just like PS2 owners managed getting though life without Xbox graphics.
