| madskillz said: Here's the rub - MS is calling the shots in the HD arena, not Sony. Last gen, though the Xbox was superior, MS was running the entire time. Sony was the one in the driver's seat. They could cut the price - MS couldn't. And with the NVidia lawsuit, MS learned a very costly lesson. This time, with MS making profits, they can afford to let Sony trim the lead to 4M without cutting the price. Even if it backfires initially, that's ok. I am positive it will thwart the Slim surge and keep Sony in the red - again. I see life for what it is. I am not fooled by looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. And there's no way - unless you are a devoted Sony or PS3 fan - that you can defend Sony's gaming division losses. |
As you said MS have been leading Sony around for the last three years. Whether it was Xbox live, achievements, or even preference with most developers. MS as of now have more options than Sony should they need to fall back on it such as further price cuts or buying away more of Sony exclusive titles should they feel the need for it. Sony seems to have wasted most of its resources just trying to put out the slim for the holidays.
