Some key points

They plan to be #1 in Europe, by better focusing on different regions, spending a lot on advertising and not just concentrating on success in the countries they're successful in (UK, France ect) they say looking at Europe as one place like NA, is a naive move.

In regards to PS3 price cut, the reponse to moving down price a little was 'no' .. of course that could be bull.

Wasn't Microsoft intent with the Xbox 360 was to be number 1 worldwide to begin with?  And what about Nintendo?  Didn't they forget that they were also competing against them?  Microsoft = scared of the PS3 pricedrop.

no they really arent. they arent in a position at all to need or want a price drop. they are making tons of profit right now, and still selling good. im sure they dont care much if PS3 is outselling them, if they are still selling well. and besides im sure they would rather sell less and make more $$$$$ than sell more like Sony and make less $.

sony was in a position where they needed to drop the price in order to stay competive, microsoft didnt. but in turn they will likely in the US be making barely any profit, but they are probably hoping it will boost software sales like crazy, which will help cancel out the less profit margins on the console. microsoft has no problem selling their system and tons of hardware, they are making lots of money both ways.
