Why would microsoft cut to $149? They're selling well in the U.S, and they discontinued the console in japan..
The only thing that would make sense is to cut in Europe
The only way microsoft would cut the price in the U.S, would be if a $249 PS3 is enough to become a threat as a competitive system stealing a significant amount of market share, that is unlikely though, it'll probably outsell the 360 by a significant amount globally in the short term, but microsoft is doing well at this price, and shouldn't cut yet

Who even are you replying to? No one mentioned anything about this in this thread...
But since you did bring it up, I will reply. Microsoft will cut, and quite frankly, can easily afford to cut $100 and still break even on the console. Expect a moderate few week bump to sales for the PS3 from this $50 cut and a huge surge in 360 sales when their cut comes along.

Why would they cut the price, when they're the #1 console by a landslide in the U,S, making a singificant amount of money, just because the PS3 might match or get close to the amount of consoles they sell in the U.S, doesn't mean it'll scare microsoft into cutting the price just so that they could distance themselves, and throw away potential revenue out of it's current price..
it doesn't make sense, and you can't say they will, you aren't microsoft, they MAY cut the price, but it wouldn't be wise to cut, and you can't say to expect a moderate bump either, you aren't a forecaster, nor are you a fortune teller.. the $50 cut might not even push the ps3, or it could do more than just a moderate push, or vice versa, it doesn't matter, it won't make sense for microsoft to cut, just because little XBOX fans want the 360 to beat the ps3

I didn't realize that I still had to put IMO after everything, but obviously that is just my prediction and is no guarantee it will happen.
As for your last "little" comment, it has nothing to do with little, big, fat, skinny, attractive, or ugly fans of a console, it has to do with Microsoft's claims of being #1 world wide this year, which they will need a price cut in order to do that.
