Oy. You have that completely backwards. What MS needs to do is get 65nm GPUs in their box and slice the price to $199/279/349. Leaving out HD-DVD could make that possible and as long as HDTV adoption is still under 1/3rd, it makes no sense to step directly onto Sony's turf and duke it out over a small slice of the real market.
Let Sony battle out the format war (in which MS has no financial stake, I might add) and beat the hell out 'em with aggressive pricing.
