This talk of desparation is just plain stupid. Sorry MS is a very profitable company and if they chose to drop the price of the Arcade to $99 (They will not be doing that by the way) it would be an act of desparation. It would be the dagger to any hopes Sony would have of the PS3 coming in 2nd.
Is it deparation that Sony plans for price reductions continue to run 2 years ahead of plan. PS3 slim introduction isnt ahead of schedule. Sony intended to release it as soon as they could. Yet going into the 4th Christmas Holiday in the PS3's life still selling for a loss wasnt Sony's plan. Sony has had to live with desparation since the very introduction of the PS3 when they discovered that the plan to sell PS3's for $600 for a couple of years was a disaster plan.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
