microsoft are going to have to pull something out right now there in 3rd place this year and with a ps3 price cut incomming its going to be difficult and are they going after nintendo now??? goodluck :)

Nintendo is only up because of a recent price cut, before that it was 3rd worldwide for the year. The PS3 is arguably only above the 360 because it ships to many more markets in the EMEAA/Others category.

MS is in a position to drastically cut the prices (more than Sony can) and still remain profitable on hardware sold. Sony is not very far ahead for the year so MS has a really good shot at this.

MS has space for a drastic cut but they won't and don't have to cut that much

they will cut everything by only $50

 

don't know about where ninty will be after PS3 and 360 cuts

 

PS3 cut will have most effect though
