Well, I think Microsoft will have to drop their prices, especially in Europe,

 

Ahh... good old price fixing. The way Microsoft always tries to win. First Windows for $3 in countries other than the US just to hold marketshare from Linux (OLPC, etc.), and now violating monopoly laws in a group of countries well known for holding Microsoft to the coals. Let's see how that turns out. I hope they try.

Are you being sarcastic? Have you looked at Sony, they predict to be losing money on PS3 hardware until 2009 at least... It seems that losing money on console hardware is a tradition by now, except for Nintendo.

BTW, I believe "price fixing" is not the correct term for what you're implying by quoting me.

The ps3 is half way of the 360 in over a year.

You're engaging in a subtle mathematical fallacy which I see a lot in these forums. Comparisons like that are like making a race between a 4-legged horse and a 2-legged horse. As long as the PS3 could sell at more than half of 360's weekly sales, that was bound to eventually happen.

It's not a great feat, especially considering that the PS3/360 gap has actually widened since the PS3 was launched.
