I should also point out that Microsoft seems to think that they will be up YOY for the rest of the year as well... Never underestimate that comment made by Greenburg that Microsoft would stay in 2nd place. I suspect they prioritise profits only to the point where the PS3 is in 3rd place and they are in a comfortable 2nd place. So between those two factors I always expected if the PS3 ever got dangerously close they would make a large price cut. Since they haven't made a price cut in a while and have quite large margins with their ASP @ >$270 in the U.S. they have significant leeway in cutting their SKUs in price. Only Microsoft can make any profit with low priced hardware because they have Xbox Live, they could practically give their hardware away and still make money in the long term. I wouldn't bet on Sony winning a hardware price cut race which is probably why they haven't tried.

So MS is going to give the 360 away for free soon?

They could give it away for free with a 3 year plan...

or with a Kinect and its vast library of games.
