pulling out crying towels??

I excpect M$ to be doing that now..

PS3 equalling 360 in sales in the holiday season despite being against the "best holiday lineup in gaming history" (M$'s words....not mine)

HD-DVD now almost dead..

Why should MS be crying? They should be laughing. For Sony to make it competitive in NA, they had to do these things:

1. Release 4 different Skus and ax two of them

2. Lower prices on their consoles and take an even further loss

3. Bring out a lower priced, feature missing model to generate more sales

What did MS have to do? A measly price cut. And believe you me, if I were looking to get a 360 now, I would laugh at it. And yet, the 360 was still hanging tough. It's been out 2 years, with one price cut and still selling. Just imagine with a bigger price cut how many units it will move.

I would laugh too if I forced my opponent to take an even bigger lose to chip away slowly at my lead. 

 Actually Microsoft also bundled in 2 games ($100+ value) and released the new Arcade SKU for $280...
