The Slim release was because people holding out were given a new model a 100$ price drop to send them flocking to buy this.  What reason would the 360 have?  The 360 selling as much as it has - is impressive.  Microsoft cannot be stopped, no matter how many people proclaiming thier business and console doomed or in trouble.  Fact of the matter is - even if they ended up third sometime this century, they're making Sony break thier back - with Sony throwing every pitch they have in their arsenal.

Face it - Microsoft has made Sony - former #1 in the business - writhe and squirm in the pain of competing in the HD console war.  Deny it all you'd like - they did it.


I think thats more thanks to Nintendo but w/e. Also even though Sony used to be "king" they actually made less money on the PS2 than they already spent on the PS3, so even if they where to surpass Xbox 360 in sales, they still lose, since they will never get all that money back.

This is very true and something that should be anylized when considering what a win really is. In the console war barely winning 2nd place after dominating 2 generations straight can't be looked upon favorably by anyone.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.
