Considering both company's financial statuses, if MS was really evil, they could make the next Xbox a monster, sell it at big losses and Sony just would NOT be able to compete power-wise. Oh man we would see  gigantic flip flops here from so many posters it would be dizzying, lol

They might get nailed with federal and state anti-trust laws.


Why would they get nailed? because they have a more powerful product than the competition?

No, because if you undercut pricing too much, you remove the competitive forces of the market.   You're allowed to have a better product, a more powerful product and even a better price.  But when you do certain things like what is suggested above, the intentions are not so much about the consumer but about harming a competiting business.

Look up Anti-Trust Laws, Dumping and Predatory Pricing.  Those 3 things would get MS in a lot of trouble.


If Sony didn't get hit with Dumping and Predatory Pricing at the PS3's launch then MS should be fine.
