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.

The PS3's price was far too high for Sony to get hit with any antitrust laws and stuff. If MS launches their next console at an insanely low price, they might get in trouble.
