Good luck. Flame, I did not. I'd explain why it was full of fail, but I'm really tired of repeating the same thing 1000x to people. OK fine, I'll explain for the last time, give me time to edit this.
1. MS is NOT losing lots of money right now. In fact they have shown strong profits in their gaming division for like the last 2 years now. MS overall has not reported a loss in years. 2. This is neither a price drop nor a special deal. It is not supported by MS in any way, shape, or form. It is a Walmart early Black Friday deal. They did this exact same deal on the PS3 twice already. It is their choice, and MS has no involvement in it. They are offering the Arcade AT NORMAL PRICE and are giving you a gift card that can ONLY BE USED at Walmart. None of this is going to some charity or whatever. And if this was an official price drop everywhere to $99 the Xbox 360 would outsell the PS3 for the remainder of the generation. Oops I shouldn't say that because I'm starting to sound like a PS3 fanboy Do you honestly think a $99 Xbox 360 would not have much of a sales affect? I'd love to hear the flawed reasoning behind that one. 3. Profit.. a BAD thing? Seriously, I thought your post was entirely sarcastic because of how ridiculous it was! MS is both profiting and still beating Sony is this imaginary intangible war you incorrectly think Sony to be winning all of the sudden from their drastic price cut and rebranding.... I don't know if you are aware, but the Wii is still dominating the HD consoles in sales, and the PS3 is still near 7 million behind the 360... So the Wii is still winning this imaginary intangible war, the 360 is still second in this imaginary intangible war, and the PS3 is still last in this imaginary intangible war that you don't care about at all yet secretly it is very important to you if you feel the need to spread all this FUD and at the same time incorrectly claim that you think Sony is now somehow winning that war.
