This isn't a question of altruism, they're both public corporations in it to ultimately take in from you more than they spend on you, and make a living for themselves from that.

 The question is which business model the consumer will reward. I'd say the one selling to the consumer for $100 less with better hardware to boot probably deserves it more, if I'm going to be brutally honest right now. Microsoft should really match or undercut them.
