PS3 might be beating XBox 360 in world wide sales right now, but sony is also still hemorrhaging money all over the place with PS3 while microsoft is now actually in danger of profiting off of XBox this quarter. Who do you think is going to be able to make a price cut in early to mid 08? This price cut is the one that matters, the one that makes the HD consoles affordable to the general public. If the premium goes down to $300 or lower with PS3 40gig still at $400, game over.

And in case anyone is wondering where my biases are, I am all nintendo. Microsoft and Sony can both suck it.

 Compared to what MS has lost on the Xbox over the last 7 years, Sony isn't hemmoraging anything. MS isn't in that much better shape to offer a price cut if they ever want earn back the $5 billion plus they've already lost. Sony has barely suffered a paper cut. On top of that, Sony as a company is still making a profit, so I don't think they're too worried at this early stage in the game. No doubt this Christmas is important for all the companies, but the fact of the matter is that we still have probably 4-5 years left in this generation. 

Do you understand the Microsoft is considerably bigger then sony and can easily take these hits with their reserve cash. When MS lost the most money i heard they maybe lost 1/6 of their profit (big) but sony is lost almost HALF of their profit from the ps3.

If HD DVD gains support this christmas i would be pretty danm worried if i was sony.

That is a BIG if my friend. The way the PS3 is selling tells you that blu ray is here to stay. HD DVD, not so much.
