It seems they are giving up. Compared to their recent PR responses this was weakest. I was expecting more aggressive comment.

Hard to be aggressive when a lot of sources basically say the same thing. They should just keep quiet about power, like they did with the 360. Even though it was weaker, the PS3 didn't just completely destroy it. Despite the bigger advantage for Sony this time, they should just pump out those games and let all else be.

Exactly.

Microsoft is losing the perception war and launching a system with less power at a higher price, and feels it ism impacting sales.  So, they had been trying to talk about power doesn't really matter and so on, and it hasn't been working well at all.  

Has there been a case of a less powerful system outselling a more powerful one at a higher price point?
