Funny you sound so certain about this. On September 4th, the current deal where a free xbox 360 is given to people who purchase a windows 7 computer valued at $699 or more will be over.
I'm not certain of the full extent this is having on sales (or if it is being included, for that matter), but without a doubt, sales will be at least slightly effected once this is done.
Also, this $50 difference would be HUGE for holiday shopping. Yes, Microsoft will still have the $199 Xbox 360, but last year, that edition was a full $100 cheaper than the cheapest PS3. This year, that difference would only be $50, and the PS3 would also be cheaper than the $299 Xbox 360, which a lot of people will likely compare it to.
With the games that will be releasing on the PS3 in the coming months, it would be very smart by Sony to also do some cool PS3 bundles for the holiday season.
Microsoft almost has to do something, or they will literally get blown to pieces this holiday season.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
