It's quite easy. The biggest game of the year is about to launch.
Why on earth would they lower the price? People are going to buy a 360 anyway.
Of course some people will say that it would have decreased the share of PS3's sold, but Microsofts businessplan says nothing about beating PS3, it says something about making a profit. It just so happens that GTA4 will generate a lot of profit, a profit that is higher when the console price is higher.
EDIT: The weak dollar has no impact whatsoever on an American company selling products in America. Maybe a little if inflation rises. It is true that it is of course easier for Microsoft to lower the European prices and still earn the same amount of dollars.
