Your sig is wrong. MS does not need (at least desperatly) to cut price. Sony absolutely does, as they are truly desperate and must stimulate sales.

Really if you consider the high tech consoles to be in their own war regardless of Wii as I do, 360 is sitting pretty with time on it's side. The choice between 360 and PS3 is all MS needs to worry about, and that choice will always go overwhelmingly 360 with prices (and game support) as they currently stand.

Don't forget that the supposedly system-mover PS3 games * are coming out next year, so the 360 should gain as much ground as possible before that time arrives. Especially considering that the PS3 may get a price cut at that time.

* as rocketpig said, "the holy trifecta of FF, MGS, and GT."
