I think that for Microsoft to be guaranteed safety (in America), they need MGS4 to be announced for their machine IN ADVANCE of the Ps3 release (won't happen, if it happens at all.)
Either that, or, again, $50 off right before GTA, which didn't happen.
Microsoft is definitely thinking money over mindshare at this point, and its the wrong way to go about it. While it's great that they are (finally) making gobs of money right now, I think they are eroding their potential userbase 5-10 years from now, their image as the hardcore system of choice seems to be fading from where it was this time last year, which will cost them money long-term.
Sony basically gave them a massive opening with their variety of blunders early on, but MS didn't take as much of an advantage of it as they should have.
This is definitely Ps3's year to really shine, Sony is back on track.
