Thats a poor argurment derived from a flawed statitistic.  How many of thos current 360 owners would be interested at $299?  How about $199?  How many may be swayed by a future game annoucement or new feature?  This gen is VERY early still, plenty of time for them to increase momentum.

While i agree about that his argument and its basis is flawed too and partially agree that there is still plenty of time this gen for MS to build momentum. I hav a few issues with what you said.

One, these lower prices that you talk about, to me it sounds like all that MS development APIs will increase stuff that some people like throwing around. Problem with this way of thinking is that it completely negates the fact that nothing stops sony from dropping their prices too.

And two, all these future game announcements and new features..... again, sony could do the exact same thing too. Hell, sony has shown morpheus so far. Just saying, I think its weird using points to exonorate one party that could just as easily apply to the other guy.


Well, he was referencing current 360 owners interest in the x1 at the 399 price point.  I was demonstrating that more current 360 owners would probably be interested at lower price points.  

Plus, sonys gains dont neccesitate microsofts losses or vice versa.  Sony will always be ahead this generation, I have little doubt of that.  They will probably always be competitive with pricing as well.  Doesnt mean microsoft cant grow their business just because another company is doing better...
